Question
The efficiency of devices used in this technique is represented by the k-factor, or clearing factor. Density-dependent variations of this technique using media such as Percoll are referred to as isopycnic. An application of this technique causes the formation of a thin white band called a buffy coat. A unit that characterizes particle size in this technique appears in the nomenclature of ribosomal subunits, making up the “S” in 30S or 40S. Extra Eppendorf tubes may be used in devices that perform this technique to ensure proper balance. In this technique, sedimentation separates the pellet from the supernatant in mixtures like blood. For 10 points, name this lab technique that separates mixture components by rapidly spinning them. ■END■
ANSWER: centrifugation [or word forms like centrifuge; accept ultracentrifugation; accept sedimentation or pelleting until read]
