10.0 Determination of G-values The centrifuging radius of the 1.5/2.0 mL rotor is 8.23 cm. The Prism™ Microcentrifuge has an automatic g-force conversion program, so g-values are automatically calculated and can be displayed on the control panel, for this centrifuging radius. If adapters or smaller tubes are used, the centrifuging radius changes as does the g force. -
