<p>A centrifugal separator, comprising a centrifugal rotor (10-1) having a sample separating chamber (2) for centrifugally separating samples contained in a sample solution provided therein, an upper part opening (3) leading to the sample separating chamber provided at the upper part thereof and rotationally symmetrical axis, a member connectable to the opening, and a rotationally driving means which rotates the member so as to rotate the centrifugal rotor about a rotating axis in the first direction with the direction of the rotationally symmetrical axis assumed to be the first direction, wherein, when two directions crossing perpendicular to the first direction are assumed to be 2nd and 3rd directions, the length of the sample separating chamber in the 3rd direction is larger than the length of the sample separating chamber in the 2nd direction, whereby, because one type of sample is handled by one centrifugal rotor, a discrete processing (sequential processing) suitable for a conveyor line production which can be performed independently of each other for each sample is enabled, and the automization of sample preparation including the centrifugally separating operation can be facilited.</p> |
