ROTOR LOCATOR

摘要

A rotor locator (100) and centrifuge body locator includes a pair of locator arms (106, 108) that close about the rotor shaft (104) and an alignment pin (128) to center the rotor shaft. A registration mechanism rotates the rotor shaft and the centrifuge body until it reaches a known home position. A meth od of consistently registering the centrifuge body includes centering a rotor shaft of the body along a known center line and aligning the body to a home position both before and after centrifugation.
