rcf2rpm: RCF and RPM Conversions

In wfondrie/evrspin: Calculations for Extracellular Vesicle Sedimentation by Centrifugation

Description

Convert RCF to RPM, or vice versa, for a given rotor.

Usage

rcf2rpm(rcf, rotor)

rpm2rcf(rpm, rotor)

Arguments

rcf	The relative centrifugal force.
rotor	A rotor object, created with rotor().
rpm	The revolutions per minute.

Value

rcf2rpm returns the rpm equilavent to the specified rotor and rcf. Likewise, rpm2rcf returns the rcf for the specified rotor and rpm.

Warning

Check your owner's manual for the maximum rpm and rcf ratings of your rotor before proceeding.

Examples

# Create a Beckman SW 40 Ti rotor object
sw40 <- rotor(model = "sw40")

# Calculate the rpm needed for 10,000 x g
rcf2rpm(10000, sw40)

# Calculate the rcf for an SW 40 Ti rotor spinning at 1,000 rpm
rpm2rcf(1000, sw40)
