RCF → RPM Calculator (a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down)

Convert a target relative centrifugal force (×g) into the rotor speed (RPM) you must dial in for a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down, from your rotor radius.

About RCF → RPM Calculator (a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down)

Convert a target relative centrifugal force (×g) into the rotor speed (RPM) you must dial in for a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down, from your rotor radius. The calculation uses RPM = √(RCF / (1.118×10⁻⁵·r)). Why accuracy here pays off: Protocols specify relative centrifugal force (×g), but instruments are set in RPM. Because RCF depends on the square of speed and on rotor radius, the same RPM gives very different g-force on different rotors — get it wrong and you over-pellet, shear, or fail to sediment. a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down: protocols usually specify ~100 ×g. Mistakes that trip people up: not balancing tubes; copying an RPM from a protocol written for a different rotor; using rmin instead of rmax. No account, no upload, no tracking of your inputs — the result is generated on your machine, which makes it reproducible, private and citable in published work.

Frequently asked questions

Any tips specific to this calculation?+

a magnetic-bead DNA cleanup spin-down: protocols usually specify ~100 ×g. Also watch out for: not balancing tubes and forgetting radius is in cm in the formula.

Is this rcf → rpm calculator (a magnetic-bead dna cleanup spin-down) free to use?+

Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser — there are no usage limits.

What formula does it use?+

It uses RPM = √(RCF / (1.118×10⁻⁵·r)) The full worked example is shown beneath the result so you can verify each step.

What are the most common mistakes here?+

In centrifugation, watch for: copying an RPM from a protocol written for a different rotor; using rmin instead of rmax; forgetting radius is in cm in the formula; not balancing tubes. This tool shows the working so you can catch these before they cost an experiment.
