rotational frequency, f rot in centrifugation

The number of rotations divided by time:

$f rot = d N d t$

The synonyms rate of rotation, rate of revolution, centrifugal speed, centrifugation speed, and the traditional units of rotational frequency such as revolutions per minute, r.p.m., ppm, $rev. min −1$ , $r min −1$ , are not recommended.
