Sun X., Luo L., Kuang Y., Li P. Nanoseparation Using Density Gradient Ultracentrifugation: Mechanism, Methods and Applications

Springer, 2018. — 120 p. — (SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science). — ISBN: 9811051895.This brief introduces the classification and mechanism of density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGUC) method with rich examples showing the versatility of such an efficient separation technique. It also gives a strict mathematical description and a computational optimization model to predict the best separation parameters for a given colloidal system. The concept of “Lab in a tube” is proposed in the last chapter, which allows the size-property relationship investigation, synthetic optimization and reaction/assembly mechanism exploration etc.Introduction to Nanoseparation
