Relative centrifugal force to meters per second squared
Type a value in × g to get it in m/s² instantly.
That's 5× as strong as separating plasma, while a hard spin-down is 1.2× higher. Your sample effectively weighs 10,000 times its own weight.
What it means
How hard is that spin?
Radii are to the bottom of the tube, where the force is highest. A protocol written for the middle of the tube will give a slightly lower figure.
The math
How to convert × g to m/s²
To convert relative centrifugal force to meters per second squared, multiply by 9.80665.
Example: 10,000 × g × 9.80665 = 98,066.5 m/s².
In the other direction, 1 m/s² = 0.101972 × g.
The table below is for Microcentrifuge (8.5 cm).
