Abstract:
Our new approach using centrifugal force provides a simple and foolproof method for the phase transfer of metal nanoparticles to organic solvents. The centrifugation following functionalization by thiol-containing molecules on the metal nanoparticles in water pushed the metal nanoparticles down to the chloroform compulsorily.

8.8K
Centrifugation is a separation technique based on differences in density or size. It is commonly used to separate solids from aqueous interferents. During centrifugation, the sample is placed in centrifugation tubes and spun at high angular velocity, which allows centrifugal force to act differentially on the different densities or masses of the components. After spinning, the supernatant liquid is decanted. Depending on the specific application, either the pellet or the supernatant is retained...

9.7K
The homogenate obtained after cell lysis contains various membrane-bound organelles that can be further separated into pure fractions by subcellular fractionation. These isolates are used to study specific cellular components, analyze localized protein activity, and are even employed in diagnostics. Fractionation is typically achieved using centrifugation methods, the most common being density-gradient and differential centrifugation.
