For automated centrifugation of samples contained in test tubes, a centrifuge (c) has a rotating head (11) with swing-out buckets (30) for housing the test tubes. Means are provided for automatically positioning each bucket in the centrifugation chamber under a safety lid and to lift each bucket out of the centrifugation chamber. Magnetic means are provided to retain a cover on its bucket and a magnetic system is provided for removing the cover of each bucket in order to expose the test tubes to a robotic arm or similar device.
