STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Sedimentation Coefficient = Sedimentation Speed/Applied Acceleration
s = vt/a
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Sedimentation Coefficient - (Measured in Second) - Sedimentation Coefficient is defined as the ratio of a particle's sedimentation velocity to the applied acceleration causing the sedimentation.
Sedimentation Speed - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Sedimentation Speed is the rate at which a particle sinks or settles within a heterogeneous mixture.
Applied Acceleration - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Applied Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity of a particle to the change in time. It can be either gravitational acceleration or more commonly centrifugal acceleration.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Sedimentation Speed: 4.1 Millimeter per Second --> 0.0041 Meter per Second (Check conversion ​here)
Applied Acceleration: 1.7E-14 Meter per Square Second --> 1.7E-14 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
s = vt/a --> 0.0041/1.7E-14

What is Electrophoresis?

Electrophoresis is the motion of dispersed particles relative to a fluid under the influence of a spatially uniform electric field. Electrophoresis of positively charged particles (cations) is sometimes called cataphoresis, while electrophoresis of negatively charged particles (anions) is sometimes called anaphoresis. Electrophoresis is used in laboratories to separate macromolecules based on size. The technique applies a negative charge so proteins move towards a positive charge. Electrophoresis is used extensively in DNA, RNA, and protein analysis.

FAQ

What is Sedimentation Coefficient of Particle?
The Sedimentation Coefficient of Particle characterizes its sedimentation during centrifugation. It is defined as the ratio of the sedimentation velocity of a particle to the applied acceleration causing the sedimentation and is represented as s = vt/a or Sedimentation Coefficient = Sedimentation Speed/Applied Acceleration. Sedimentation Speed is the rate at which a particle sinks or settles within a heterogeneous mixture & Applied Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity of a particle to the change in time. It can be either gravitational acceleration or more commonly centrifugal acceleration.
How to calculate Sedimentation Coefficient of Particle?
The Sedimentation Coefficient of Particle characterizes its sedimentation during centrifugation. It is defined as the ratio of the sedimentation velocity of a particle to the applied acceleration causing the sedimentation is calculated using Sedimentation Coefficient = Sedimentation Speed/Applied Acceleration.
