Abstract
SEDIMENTATION and diffusion constants of macromolecules are conveniently determined with the oil-driven ultracentrifuge of the Svedberg type. Such machines are not generally available for normal routine laboratory work, and in a search for an apparatus which was at the same time simple to run, economic to install but also precise in operation, our attention naturally turned to the air-driven top of Henriot and Huguenard, which has been developed so well in the United States by Beams, McBain and especially by the Sharpies Centrifuge Company of Philadelphia.
