title:
Sedimentation equilibrium
text:
Sedimentation equilibrium in a suspension of different particles, such as molecules, exists when the rate of transport of each material in any one direction due to sedimentation equals the rate of transport in the opposite direction due to diffusion. Sedimentation is due to an external force, such as gravity or centrifugal force in a centrifuge. It was discovered for colloids by Jean Baptiste Perrin for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1926.
