Chapter 4.1: Understanding G-forces and RPM presented by Dr. Richard Miron

This video is designed with the sole purpose of providing clinicians a better means to understand centrifugation parameters that will permit the optimization of their centrifugation device irrespective of the centrifugation system and trade names associated. A very clear understanding of the calculations needed to convert revolutions per minute (rpm) into relative centrifugal force (RCF, or g-force) is provided utilizing simple and straightforward formulas.

I have one of the Salvin centrifuges. I am looking in the textbook to see if any protocol recommendations are given.
Do you have these protocol recommendations for the Salvin unit?

Could we just remove content illustrating procedures done using Fixed-angle centrifuges? There's plenty of evidence showing damage to the platelets/leukocytes when using fixed-angle rotors instead of horizontal/swing out.
