This process of isopycnic sedimentation at one solute density to separate particles of different densities is called "rho spectrometry" by Price et al.
When the sedimentation coefficients of then-known viruses were plotted against their isopycnic banding densities, nearly all viruses fell into an otherwise essentially vacant area in the center of the plot, surrounded at higher or lower density and higher or lower sedimentation coefficients by various subcellular organelles and macromolecules.
