RCF → RPM Calculator (pelleting fungal spores)

Convert a target relative centrifugal force (×g) into the rotor speed (RPM) you must dial in for pelleting fungal spores, from your rotor radius.

RPM = √(RCF / (1.118×10⁻⁵·r))

About RCF → RPM Calculator (pelleting fungal spores)

Convert a target relative centrifugal force (×g) into the rotor speed (RPM) you must dial in for pelleting fungal spores, from your rotor radius. The calculation uses RPM = √(RCF / (1.118×10⁻⁵·r)). Why it matters: 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. pelleting fungal spores: protocols usually specify ~3000 ×g. Before you trust the number, double-check: copying an RPM from a protocol written for a different rotor; using rmin instead of rmax; forgetting radius is in cm in the formula. Everything is computed on your own device — nothing you enter is uploaded — so the tool is safe for unpublished sequences, proprietary formulations and sensitive measurements, and easy to cite in a methods section or lab SOP.
