About RPM → RCF Calculator (spinning out protein aggregates)

Convert centrifuge speed (RPM) to relative centrifugal force (×g) for spinning out protein aggregates, using your rotor radius. Always report ×g, not RPM, for reproducibility. The calculation uses RCF = 1.118×10⁻⁵ · r(cm) · RPM². Why this calculation counts: 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. For spinning out protein aggregates, a typical setting is ~30000 ×g. Common pitfalls to avoid: using rmin instead of rmax; forgetting radius is in cm in the formula; not balancing tubes. All maths runs locally in your browser; no data is ever sent to a server. That privacy is exactly why researchers link these calculators from protocols, theses and standard operating procedures.

Frequently asked questions

Any tips specific to this calculation?+

For spinning out protein aggregates, a typical setting is ~30000 ×g. Also watch out for: using rmin instead of rmax and copying an RPM from a protocol written for a different rotor.

Is this rpm → rcf calculator (spinning out protein aggregates) 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 RCF = 1.118×10⁻⁵ · r(cm) · RPM² 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.

Does my data leave my device?+

No. All computation happens locally in your browser. Nothing you enter — sequences, concentrations or measurements — is uploaded to any server, so it is safe for confidential work.

Can I cite this tool?+

Yes — use the “Cite this tool” snippet on the page. Many users link these calculators from methods sections, lab SOPs and teaching materials.
