Editing Centrifugation (section)

===Microcentrifuges===
Microcentrifuges are specially designed table-top models with light, small-volume rotors capable of very fast acceleration up to approximately 17,000 rpm. They are lightweight devices which are primarily used for short-time centrifugation of samples up to around 0.2–2.0 mL. However, due to their small scale, they are readily transportable and, if necessary, can be operated in a cold room.<ref name="Graham"/> They can be refrigerated or not. The microcentrifuge is normally used in research laboratories where small samples of biological molecules, [[cell (biology)|cells]], or [[Cell nucleus|nuclei]] are required to be subjected to high RCF for relatively short time intervals.<ref name="Graham">{{Cite book |publisher = BIOS Scientific Publishers |isbn = 978-1-85996-037-0 |last1 = Graham |first1 = J.M. |last2 = Rickwood |first2 = D. |title = Biological Centrifugation |date = 2001}}</ref> Microcentrifuges designed for high-speed operation can reach up to 35,000 rpm, giving RCF up to 30000×g, and are called high-speed microcentrifuges.<ref name="Khandpur">{{Cite book| publisher = John Wiley & Sons| isbn = 978-1-119-28812-1| last = Khandpur| first = Raghbir Singh| title = Compendium of Biomedical Instrumentation, 3 Volume Set| date = 2020-02-25}}</ref>
