Adapter For A Centrifuge Vessel

摘要

The invention relates to an adapter for a centrifuge vessel having a shell-shaped base body formed as one piece and delimiting a cavity for the purpose of accommodating the centrifuge vessel and comprising a base region and an adjacent side-wall region of which the top edge defines the opening edge of the cavity, at least one expansion joint being present in the side-wall region, which expansion joint when subjected to a force allows for moving the side-wall region from a starting position to an expanded position such that the length of the opening edge is greater in the expanded position than in the starting position. The adapter is made of a plastics material such that when the force is removed from the side-wall region the base body automatically returns to the starting position.

主权项

1. An adapter for a centrifuge vessel, comprising:
a shell-shaped base body formed as a single piece and delimiting a cavity for accommodating the centrifuge vessel, said base body having a base region and an adjacent side-wall region having a top edge that defines an opening edge of said cavity; at least one expansion joint provided in said side-wall region, wherein said at least one expansion joint, when subjected to a force, allows for moving said side-wall region from a starting position to an expanded position such that a length of the opening edge is greater in the expanded position than in the starting position, and further wherein said base body is made of a plastics material such that when the force is removed from said side-wall region, the base body automatically returns to said starting position.
