The apparatus is for holding the stator of the rotatating vessel of a centrifuge in a way allowing for an easy and rapid handling. It includes: a pivotable swing arm (50) having a first end (52) and a second end (54), the se cond end (54) having an engagement portion (56) configured to engage the stator of th e rotating vessel; a shaft (70) connected to the first end (52) of the swing arm (50) for supportin g the swing arm (50) in a manner permitting the swing arm (50) to pivot toward and awa y from the stator; and spring biased means (88, 90) for resisting pivotal movement of the swing arm (50 ) when the swing arm (50) is in a predetermined angular position, the spring biase d resisting means (88, 90) permitting pivotal movement of the swing arm (50) in response to rotational force greater than a predetermined rotational force.
