Abstract

The invention relates to a centrifuge for cleaning a reaction vessel unit and to a method for cleaning such a centrifuge. The centrifuge has a rotor and a rotor chamber, in which the rotor is arranged and mounted, the rotor features a receiving area for receiving the reaction vessel unit. The rotor chamber is limited by a housing, the housing having an outlet to drain the liquid discharged from the reaction vessels and being provided with an inlet for filling the rotor chamber with a cleaning solution in such a way, when the rotor rotates, the rotor 2 is at least partially immersed in the cleaning solution and distributes it in rotor chamber and/or the inlet is designed in such a way that the cleaning solution is distributed in rotor chamber when it is supplied by the rotating rotor.
