What else can I help you with?
In the fractionation of homogenised cells using centrifugation the primary factor that determines whether a specific cellular component ends up in the supernatant or the pellet is?
the size and density of the cellular component. Components with larger sizes or higher densities will pellet at higher speeds during centrifugation and end up in the pellet fraction, while smaller or less dense components will remain in the supernatant.
What g force is required to pellet bacteria?
The g force required to pellet bacteria during centrifugation depends on factors such as the size and density of the bacteria, as well as the speed and duration of centrifugation. Generally, bacteria can be pelleted at relatively low g forces ranging from 1000 to 5000 x g in a standard benchtop centrifuge.
Why is mgcl2 used in chloroform DNA extraction?
MgCl2 is used to preserve the integrity of membrane system by counteracting the fixed negative charges of membrane phospholipid. Depending on what you want to extract, it tries to protect the component you are interested in (DNA/RNA/red blood cells, etc) from being lyzed by broken-open lysosome for instance.
What is a centrifuge?
A centrifuge generally uses centrifugal force to separate the desired product, which can either be proteins or nucleic acids, from the suspension made of insoluble fine solids in liquids. The desired product can be either in the supernatant (the clear liquid obtained as a result of centrifugation) or the pellet (residue from centrifugation sedimented at the bottom). A centrifuge uses the idea of centrifugal force by rapidly spinning a sample around many times. This causes the sample, upon completion, to be separated into its highest density components at the bottom of the centrifuge to its lowest density components at the top. This makes doing certain things easier, like decanting supernatant (liquid) or collecting specific layers from a sample.
Why 70 percent ethanol is used for DNA pellet washing?
In the process of DNA isolation, ethanol is used to preciputate the DNA or bring the DNA out of solution. Once precipitated, DNA appears as a white cottony mass that can be seen with the naked eye. This precipitated DNA is then spun down and re suspended in the appropriate buffer suitable for storage.

What two organelles cannot be separated by centrifugation?
Nucleus and nucleolus cannot be separated by centrifugation because both are dense structures that pellet together during this process. They have similar densities and thus cannot be effectively separated based on their mass alone.
What order will organelles sediment out as centrifugation speed is increased?
During centrifugation, organelles will sediment out based on their size, shape, and density. Typically, larger and denser organelles like nuclei will sediment out first at lower speeds, followed by mitochondria, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum. Smaller and less dense organelles like ribosomes will be found in the pellet at higher speeds.
How can be removed RNA pellet from TBE buffer?
To remove RNA pellet from TBE buffer, you can perform a centrifugation step to pellet the RNA and then carefully pour off the TBE buffer without disturbing the pellet. After discarding the buffer, you can wash the RNA pellet with a high percentage ethanol solution to remove any remaining TBE buffer, followed by air-drying or resuspending the pellet in an appropriate RNA storage solution.
Why does the nuclei sink to the bottom of the tube making a pellet?
The nuclei have a higher density than the surrounding solution, which causes them to sink to the bottom of the tube under centrifugal force during centrifugation. This process allows for the separation of the nuclei from the rest of the cellular components in the sample.
What is a pellet in centrifuge?
A pellet in a centrifuge refers to the compact mass of particles that accumulates at the bottom of a centrifuge tube after the sample has been spun at high speeds. The centrifugal force causes denser components, such as cells, organelles, or precipitates, to settle while the less dense components remain in the supernatant. After centrifugation, the supernatant can be carefully removed, leaving the pellet for further analysis or processing.
How do you separate the virus from a blood cell?
One method to separate viruses from blood cells is differential centrifugation. By spinning a sample at high speeds, the heavier blood cells will pellet to the bottom while the lighter viruses will collect in the supernatant. This can be repeated with varying speeds and times to further purify the virus. Another method is density gradient centrifugation where the sample is layered on top of a density gradient solution, allowing the virus and blood cells to separate based on their buoyant densities.
What is the most widely used procedure to separate a homogenate into different parts?
The most widely used procedure to separate a homogenate into different parts is centrifugation. Centrifugation uses centrifugal force to separate components based on their size, density, and shape. The different components of the homogenate pellet at different locations in the centrifuge tube, allowing for easy separation.
When is a tsunami the highest?

Is a 22 firearm or a pellet gun better?
For us to answer, you would have to define "better". I can target shoot at 50-100 meters with a .22 target rifle, and I can't do that with a pellet gun. But I can target shoot in my basement during bad weather with a pellet gun- and I can't do that with my .22s.
What is the best pellet for having fun?
The dome pellet is considered to be the universal pellet.
What does centrifuge mean in science?
Centrifuge is both a noun as well as a verb. A centrifuge is a machine used to spin liquid solutions at high speeds, which causes undissolved particles in the liquid to collect and form a pellet, making them easier to remove. To centrifuge a liquid means to subject it to centrifugation.
