Tube rack carrying test tubes are each placed between adjacent arms and a centrifugal force applied to the tube rack is received by abutment of engaging portions of the tube rack with the stepped portions of the arms. A cylindrical wind shield is fixed to the rotor in a manner to surround the rotor and the tube racks.
