Centrifuge rotor having spillage containment groove.

摘要

A centrifuge rotor has a continuous annular groove (38) disposed radially outwardly of each of the sample receiving cavities (18) provided in the rotor (10). The groove (38) collects any liquid spilled during operation of the rotor (10) thereby to prevent the liquid from draining into the cavities (18) and contaminating the same as the rotor (10) slows.
