Read MoreAn erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a type of blood test that measures how quickly erythrocytes (red blood cells) settle at the bottom of a test tube that contains a blood sample. Normally, red blood cells settle relatively slowly. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation in the body.

Read Morediffusion is comparable to the sedimentation rate. Very small particles (<0.1 micron) never settle by gravity unless they are extremely dense, so most types of very small particles can not be measured by gravitational sedimentation. Sedimentation in a centrifuge extends the range of sedimentation analysis to much smaller particles.

Read MoreThe rate at which the sedimentation boundary moves is a measure of the sedimentation coefficient of the protein. The sedimentation coefficient depends on the molecular weight (larger proteins sediment faster) and also on molecular shape. Unfolded proteins or one with highly elongated shapes will experience more hydrodynamic friction, and thus will have smaller sedimentation coefficients than a ...

Read MoreThere are various different types of sedimentation: granular particles will each settle separately and will each be subject to a constant settling speed;; particles that are more or less flocculated will be of different sizes and, therefore, subject to variable sedimentation rates. At low concentration levels, the settling speed increases as the floc increases in size through collision with ...
Read MoreIn rate-zonal centrifugation the problem of cross-contamination of particles of different sedimentation rates may be avoided by layering the sample as a narrow zone on top of a density gradient (Figure 2). In this way the faster sedimenting particles are not contaminated by the slower particles as occurs in differential centrifugation.

Read MoreSedimentation speed is the rate at which a particle sinks or settles within a heterogeneous mixture. Multi-phase mixtures (solid/liquid, liquid/liquid) can be separated mechanically by the effect of gravitational force (sedimentation).
