Abstract

A pivotal carrier for use in centrifuge rotors wherein the ends of the rotor carriers are adjustable to vary the supporting or receiving surface area in the carrier to accommodate various sized tube racks which may be used in the centrifuge rotor. Holding members in opposite ends of each carrier are movable to a plurality of positions to symmetrically position the tube rack within the carrier to maintain dynamic rotor balance.
