What is the highest speed that I can spin the Proteus MINI and MIDI Spin Columns?
MINI Spin Columns: Although the Spin Columns have been tested at 11,960 g (13,000 rpm in a fixed angle rotor with an average radius of 49 mm), we do not recommend spin speeds greater than 5,000 g. At very high speed, you may observe gel shrinkage away from the side walls. This will not affect the performance of the Spin Columns as the gel will rehydrate rapidly in subsequent spin steps. MIDI Spin Columns: There is no need to spin the devices at speeds greater than 1,250g. No performance data is available at centrifugal speeds greater than 1,500 g.
