Ultracentrifugation

Description:

Ultracentrifugation refers to a technique used in biochemistry and molecular biology to separate and analyze various components of a solution based on their size, shape, density, and molecular weight. It involves spinning samples at high speeds in specialized centrifuges to create strong centrifugal forces that help separate particles or molecules with different properties.

Sample Sentences:

• The researchers employed ultracentrifugation to separate the different protein fractions present in the cellular extract.
• Ultracentrifugation offers a powerful tool for the isolation and characterization of subcellular organelles.
