Tools: Centrifuge Rotor Speed Calculator

Choose the make and model of your centrifuge rotor, and the values will be entered automatically. Or for a rotor not on the list, choose a Custom Rotor by clicking the "Enter parameters manually" button. The only necessary value for a custom rotor is rmax (radius in mm).
