Difference between g and RPM in centrifugation?

Answer 1

What is the difference between RCF and RPM when considering microcentrifuge tubes? = RCF = 1.1118 x 10-5 x r x RPM2 = (r = rotor radius in cm)

Answer 2

G-force (acceleration due to gravity) is a measure of the force applied to particles in a centrifuge, while RPM (revolutions per minute) is a measure of how fast the rotor of the centrifuge is spinning. The relationship between g and RPM depends on the rotor size and radius. RPM alone doesn't provide information on the actual force being applied to the particles, which is why g-force is often used as a more reliable measure in centrifugation.
