Abstract

An account is given of a centrifuge apparatus with a plate-like rotor whose outer edge is used as stops for radially placed sample tubes. For keeping them in position against the stops the radially inner ends of the tube are pressed downwards in the middle of the rotor plate for changing the slope of the tubes to go through a dead center position. A hub in the middle of the rotor is joined with a driving shaft by a coupling. A nosepiece for use with a locking part is arranged on a part, fixedly joined to the driving shaft, of the coupling.
