<p>A holder (36) secures to the rotating processing chamber (18) of a centrifuge tubing (44) that conveys fluid to or from the chamber (18). The holder (36) is part of a carrier (38) that is connected by a pin (54) to a support (50) on the processing chamber (18). The support (50) has walls defining a cavity. The carrier (38) swings about the pin (54) on the support (50) between an opened position free of the cavity and a closed position captured within the cavity. In the opened position, the tube holder (36) is exposed for receiving tubing (44). In the closed position, the tubing (44) is retained within the cavity (52) in the tube holder (36). The tuber holder (36) allows straightforward attachment and removal of the tubing (44), always in a prescribed manner and with a single hand. The holder (36) securely retains the tubing (44) during use in a closed, protected envrironment, safeguarding it against inadvertent dislodgement, removal, or damage.</p> |
