Scenario
A paper reports spin conditions in RCF, but your centrifuge display is RPM and your rotor radius is different.
This example shows how to adapt the condition without copying a number that belongs to another machine.
Inputs to confirm
Target RCF from the protocol.
Actual rotor radius for your rotor, not a generic manufacturer estimate from a different model.
Whether the protocol is sensitive to under-spinning or overheating.
Why this matters
Published RPM values are not transferable across different rotors.
A worked example makes the protocol adaptation step explicit and gives the page more practical value than a formula alone.
Common failure points
Copying RPM from a paper that used another rotor.
Using the wrong measurement point for rotor radius.
Ignoring whether a long spin at higher RPM could heat the sample.
