Abstract
An adjustable supporting arrangement used within the sample receiving cavity of a centrifuge rotor to hold and align a plurality of test tubes. The arragement is comprised of a series of similarly configured interface layers which can be variably arranged to accommodate different sized test tubes. A bracket member is utilized to retain the alignment of the various interface layers and hold them as a single unit for convenient movement into and out of the rotor cavity. Incorporated within the supporting arrangement is a separate cushion pad to receive the bottom ends of the test tubes. A uniquely designed divider plate can be placed within the supporting arrangement to partition the rotor cavity into two areas for receipt of two sets of test tubes in stacked relation.
