Fixed angle tube carrier

摘要

A fixed angle tube carrier is provided for use with externally shouldered sample tubes and a centrifuge rotor having formed therein a plurality of symmetrically disposed vertical slots in its outer peripheral surface. The slots are formed in the shape of a "T" and adapted for sliding engagement with a tube carrier. The tube carrier comprises a vertically elongated member having a "T" shaped cross-section which is adapted for sliding engagement with the slots of the rotor. The carrier contains a plurality of circular recesses which are open at each end and adapted for holding an externally shouldered sample tube. The longitudinal axis of each recess is disposed radially of the vertical axis of the rotor and at an angle less than 90 DEG thereto.
