  2. Buoyant density centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyant_density_centrifugation

    Historically a cesium chloride (CsCl) solution was often used, but more commonly used density gradients are sucrose or Percoll.This application requires a solution with high density and yet relatively low viscosity, and CsCl suits it because of its high solubility in water, high density owing to the large mass of Cs, as well as low viscosity and high stability of CsCl solutions.

  3. Caesium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium_chloride

    The caesium chloride structure adopts a primitive cubic lattice with a two-atom basis, where both atoms have eightfold coordination. The chloride atoms lie upon the lattice points at the corners of the cube, while the caesium atoms lie in the holes in the center of the cubes; an alternative and exactly equivalent 'setting' has the caesium ions at the corners and the chloride ion in the center.

  4. Analytical band centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_band_centrifugation

    The method is distinguished from zone-sedimentation in that a stabilizing density gradient is self-generated during centrifugation, through the use of a higher density (than the sample) bulk "binary solvent", containing both a solvent (i.e. H 2 O), and a second component (small molecules, i.e. CsCl) that will sediment to form a stabilizing ...

  5. Centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugation

    Differential centrifugation is the simplest method of fractionation by centrifugation, [9] commonly used to separate organelles and membranes found in cells. Organelles generally differ from each other in density and in size, making the use of differential centrifugation, and centrifugation in general, possible.

  6. Differential centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_centrifugation

    After each centrifugation, the supernatant (non-pelleted solution) is removed from the tube and re-centrifuged at an increased centrifugal force and/or time. Differential centrifugation is suitable for crude separations on the basis of sedimentation rate, but more fine grained purifications may be done on the basis of density through ...

  7. Ultracentrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultracentrifuge

    In 1924 Theodor Svedberg built a centrifuge capable of generating 7,000 g (at 12,000 rpm), and called it the ultracentrifuge, to juxtapose it with the Ultramicroscope that had been developed previously. In 1925-1926 Svedberg constructed a new ultracentrifuge that permitted fields up to 100,000 g (42,000 rpm). [3]

  8. Percoll - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percoll

    Percoll is a reagent consisting of colloidal silica particles used in cell biology and other laboratory settings. It was first formulated by Pertoft and colleagues, [2] and commercialized by Pharmacia Fine Chemicals. [3] Percoll is used for the isolation of cells, organelles, or viruses by density centrifugation.

  9. Rate-zonal centrifugation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate-zonal_centrifugation

    Rate-zonal centrifugation is a centrifugation technique employed to effectively separate particles of different sizes. [1] The tube is first filled with different concentrations of sucrose or another solute establishing layers with different densities and viscosities , forming a density gradient , within which the particles to be separated are ...
