Balance.


How do you use gravity disc in centrifuge?

To use a gravity disc in a centrifuge, place the disc at the bottom of the centrifuge tube before adding your sample. The disc's density should be higher than the sample to help separate components based on their density during centrifugation. When the centrifuge spins, the disc will assist in pushing particles to settle at the bottom of the tube based on their relative densities.


How do you determine mass of an object?

If you are in an atmosphere with a gravitaional pull then you will want to use a balance, if not (like if you were in a place with no gravity) then you want to use a centrifuge.

How do you build a centrifuge?

To build a centrifuge you first need to decide what G force you need to generate. This is a function of the distance that the unit to be centrifuged is from the center axis and the rotational frequency (RPM). A major difficult you might run into is balancing the unit you make. The basic components of a centrifuge are the motor, case, rotor, and shield. The rotor holds the tubes, the case holds the motor in place and is a sturdy base, the shield protects you from any debri that could be thrown from an unbalanced rotor. If you MUST build a centrifuge you will need to learn to machine an accurate and balanced rotor. You are really just better off buying one. If you are in search of a cheap and simple centrifuge for playing with, use some tubing and an egg beater like these students did: http://www.rsc.org/delivery/_ArticleLinking/DisplayHTMLArticleforfree.cfm?JournalCode=LC&Year=2008&ManuscriptID=b809830c&Iss=Advance_Article


Who was the first to describe cells?

i think the fist scientist to describe a cell was ROBERT HOOKE because he was the one who wrote about them in the first place.


What is cell fractionation used to study components that make up the cells?

Cell fractionation can be defined as the process of separation of similar and homogeneous sets of organelles from a heterogeneous population of cells. This process can be also used to obtain a part of the whole organelle like the mitochondrion, Deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA], Ribonucleic Acid [RNA], Ribosomes. Soluble proteins specific molecules of compounds can also be obtained by this sophisticated process. There are three prime steps involved in the process of cell fractionation. The steps are: 1. Cell Disruption - Cell disruption refers to the process of liberating the biological and organic molecules which are within a cell. The power needed for the disruption of some cell is quite high - for example E.Coli. It is even higher in other organisms like yeast thus, increasing the cost of disruption and the usage of sophisticated tools and machinery. The tissue is homogenized in a solution in which the water content is maintained equal to the water content within the cell - thus no osmotic damage takes place in the cell. Other methods like mincing, chopping, osmotic shock are used to liberate the cell organelles from the cell. Sometimes, the tissue is kept in ice-cold water or a buffered solution to prevent damages and to prevent any change in the chemical composition in the cell. 2. Filtration - This step involves the filtering out of the macro-sized particles that come along with the cell organelle. This step is not mandatory in some cases. But during the fractionation of Animal tissues, filtration through gauze or a suction filter is necessary in order to leave out the fluid connective tissues as a residue. 3. Purification and Segregation - The filtrate obtained in the previous step is rotated at a very high speed thereby increasing the gravitational force sequentially. The different organelles are segregated according to their density within the test tube. This process is called centrifugation. These three steps account for the whole process of Cell Fractionation.
