摘要

The present invention relates to a centrifuge apparatus (10) comprising: a support member (12) rotatable about a first axis (20); at least one holding means (22) mounted to said support member for rotation therewith about the first axis, wherein each holding means is adapted to rotate about a respective second axis (24) distal to said first axis and to receive a sample processing device (26) for rotation thereof also about the second axis; a first motor (28a) adapted to rotate said support member about said first axis; and a second motor (28b) coupled to said at least one holding means; wherein the two motors (28a, 28b) are placed off the support member on opposite sides of the support member. The invention also relates to use of such an apparatus, and to a centrifugation method.
