FAQ

What is the Sedimentation Coefficient?
Sedimentation Coefficient is defined as the ratio of a particle’s sedimentation velocity to the applied acceleration causing the sedimentation. Sedimentation Coefficient is usually measured using the Svedberg for Time. Note that the value of Sedimentation Coefficient is always negative.
Can the Sedimentation Coefficient be negative?
Yes, the Sedimentation Coefficient, measured in Time can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Sedimentation Coefficient?
Sedimentation Coefficient is usually measured using the Svedberg[Sv] for Time. Second[Sv], Millisecond[Sv], Microsecond[Sv] are the few other units in which Sedimentation Coefficient can be measured.
