Centrifuge Speed Bottom Supernatant Describe Ultracentrifugation Separation Organelles/Proteins

Front Describe ultracentrifugation.
Back
- allows separation of organelles/proteins by density

- centrifuge spins homogenate/liquid at high speed
- generates centrifugal force
- denser organelles settle at bottom of centrifuge tube
- supernatant decanted, pellet at bottom removed
- supernatant spun at higher speed to obtain next organelle
