1. Svedberg

   A Svedberg unit or svedberg (symbol S, sometimes Sv) is a non-SI metric unit for sedimentation coefficients. The Svedberg unit offers a measure of a particle's size indirectly based on its sedimentation rate under acceleration (i.e. how fast a particle of given size and shape settles to the bottom of a solution). The svedberg is a measure of time, defined as exactly 10−13 seconds (100 fs). For biological macromolecules and cell organelles like ribosomes, the sedimentation rate is typically measured as the rate of travel in a centrifuge tube subjected to high g-force.The svedberg (S) is distinct from the SI unit sievert or the non-SI unit sverdrup, which also use the symbol Sv.

1. svedberg

   A Svedberg is a non-SI unit of time, equivalent to 10-13 seconds, typically used to measure the rate of sedimentation in centrifugation processes, especially in biochemistry. The unit is named after the Swedish chemist Theodor Svedberg. It is often used to measure the sizes of particles such as proteins and nucleic acids. One unit of svedberg signifies other ten billionths of a second.

1. Svedberg

   A svedberg unit is a non-SI unit for sedimentation rate. The sedimentation rate is the rate at which particles of a given size and shape travel to the bottom of the tube under centrifugal force. This reflects the rate at which a molecule sediments under the centrifugal force of a centrifuge. The svedberg is technically a measure of time, and is defined as exactly 10−13 seconds. The Svedberg unit offers a measure of particle size based on its rate of travel in a tube subjected to high g-force. It should not be confused with SI unit sievert as well as the non-SI sverdrup.
