SPINCO L ultracentrifuge

Background Theodor Svedberg (1884 –1971), a Swedish chemist and Nobel laureate, developed in the 1920ies analytical ultracentrifugation to separate molecules (proteins). In 1942 the physicist Edward Pickels refined the design of the ultracentrifuge. He developed the paradigm that ultracentrifuges must run under high vacuum to reduce the friction at the rotor surface, hence diminishing the […]
