Q

Rate Zonal Centrifugation

A

Sample is layered as a narrow zone on the top of a density gradient, under centrifugal force, particles move at different rates depending on mass

Buoyant Density

A

Object has exactly the same density as the fluid, remains submerged in the fluid but will neither sink or float

Q

Isopycnic Centrifugation

A

Particles are separated solely on the basis of their buoyant density, the particles will never sediment to the bottom of the tube, no matter how long the centrifugation time
