| sedimentation coefficient |
the velocity at which a particle sediments in a centrifuge divided by the applied centrifugal field, the result having units of time (velocity divided by acceleration), usually expressed in Svedberg units (S), which equal 10 -13 second. Sedimentation coefficients are used to characterize the size of macromolecules, eg, 5.8S rRNA, 22S rRNA; they increase with increasing mass and density and are higher for globular than for fibrous particles. Called also sedimentation constant.

| sedimentation rate |
The distance red blood cells travel in one hour in a sample of blood as they settle to the bottom of a test tube. The sedimentation rate is increased in inflammation, infection, cancer, rheumatic diseases, and diseases of the blood and bone marrow. Also called erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
