Abstract

The nonsynchronous coil planet centrifuge has a unique mode of planetary motion such that it provides freely adjustable coil rotation under a given centrifugal force field, and it produces an acceleration which fluctuates in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the holder. The two modes of planetary motion may be expressed as Pforward (coil rotation and revolution in the same direction) (revolution/rotation=clockwise CW/CW or counterclockwise CCW/CCW) and Pbackward (coil rotation and revolution in the opposite directions) (revolution/rotation=CW/CCW or CCW/CW). The present study describes the analysis of acceleration produced by planetary motion in this apparatus. Our analysis is based on the equation for the absolute value of acceleration (A) in a given point on the column holder. A is calculated from each value obtained at the maximum and the minimum. The result indicated that the maximum value of A in Pforward is larger than that in Pbackward under the same rotational rate, while the minimum value of A in Pforward is smaller than that in Pbackward. A higher rotational rate increases the difference of the value between Pforward and Pbackward. The overall results may support that the difference of maximum A and minimum AA) between Pforward and Pbackward affects the retention of the stationary phase. Differences were observed experimentally in a previous study on protein separation with an aqueous two‐phase solvent system using the nonsynchronous CCC apparatus.
