Read this article to learn about the basic principles of sedimentation and also about sedimentation coefficient. Basic Principles of Sedimentation: The rate of sedimentation is dependent upon the applied centrifugal field (G) being directed readily outwards; this is determined by the square of the angular velocity of the rotor (ω in radians s-1) and the radians (r, in centimeters) of [...]
This article throws light upon the three methods used for separation of particles in centrifugation. The three methods are: (1) Differential Centrifugation (2) Centrifugal Elutriation and (3) Density Gradient Centrifugation. The Density Gradient Centrifugation method consists of two techniques. The two techniques are: (1) Rate Zonal Technique and (2) Isopycnic Centrifugation Technique. Method # 1. Differential Centrifugation: This depends upon [...]
This article throws light upon the four types of electrode used in electrochemical techniques. The four types of electrode are: (1) The pH Electrode (2) Ion Selective and Gas Sensing Electrodes (3) The Clark Oxygen Electrode and (4) The Leaf Disc Electrode. Type # 1. The pH Electrode: Principles: Perhaps the most convenient and accurate way of determining pH is [...]
