In this work, we developed a general theoretical description of ternary solutions of small molecules under a centrifugal field, from which we obtained the centrifugation map (CMap) as a general tool to understand observations or to predict composition profiles in centrifugal fields of arbitrary strength. The theoretical formalism is based on the classical density functional theory with established models for liquid mixtures. Thermodynamics also yields a general criterion for apparent aggregation. The strength of the CMap approach is illustrated for a ternary model system where ethanol is a co-solvent.
