A centrifugal separator able to function as an agitator. A motor controlled by a control box drives a disk-like rotor. For agitation, the motor makes the rotor intermittently rotate, and for centrifuging, the motor makes the rotor constantly rotate. The rotor has a pair of pins which are extended in a tangential direction to the rotation of the rotor. A bucket for accommodating a sample container is freely swingably supported by a pair of pins. During the alternate repeat of the rotation and stopping of the rotor, the bucket with the sample container performs regular swing like a pendulum in the radial direction of the rotor. The rotation of the rotor and the swing of the sample container generate a smooth circular flow of the liquid content in the sample container.
