<p>An adapter (10) having a body (12) and a cooperating cover (14) with a seal (16) therebetween is characterized by a stop surface (22S1) provided on the exterior surface of the body (12). The body and the cover are held together by a clamping bail (18) that is either separate from or, more preferably, pivotally mounted to the body (12). The bail (18) is slidably movable over the body (12) and the cover (14) from an open to a clamping position. In the clamping position the bail abuts against the stop surface (22S1) with the major axis of the bail being most preferably collinear with the major axis of the adapter. With the bail (18) in the clamping position the cover (14) is held to the body in a manner that compresses the seal (16) therebetween. The bail (18) is formed of a material having sufficient strength to withstand a vertical force created by the pressure of a liquid carried in the tube under centrifugation.</p> |
