Velocitization is a special danger when leaving a freeway. You may misjudge your speed on the exit ramp and come suddenly upon traffic stopped at a junction point connecting a lower speed roadway.
To prevent velocitization, the feeling of going slower than you really are, keep checking the speedometer while you drive.

A single gradient (part B) usually will suffice, although to obtain maximum purity (e.g., for use as a probe), a velocitization step (part D) and a second CsCl-PI gradient (part E) are added. The velocitization differs from equilibrium gradients in that molecules are pelleted at a rate proportional to their size and largeley independent of conformation.
For most enzymatic manipulations, including restriction endonuclease digestion, end-labelling, nick translation, or primer extension labelling (random priming), it is usually not necessary to perform the velocitization and final gradient steps.
A velocitization is sometimes used between two density-gradient ultracentrifugations to [19] mitochondrial genomics 317.
