1
Q

Played a vital role in virology because it provides sufficient gravitational force to efficiently sediment even the smallest viruses

A

Ultracentrifuge

2
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

3
Q

Buoyant Density

A

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

4
Q

Isopycnic Point

A

Point where the buoyant density of a particle equals that of the surrounding density gradient medium

5
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

6
Q

Membrane Chromatography

A
