Abstract

A centrifuge with swinging sample vessels has a rotor with curved rolling support faces on which the sample vessels may be rolled as they are moved into and out of a horizontal position by centrifugal force on centrifuging. Because of the use of a system with rolling structures for swinging of the vessels, a design of centrifuge is produced which is simple in structure, needs little upkeep and whose rotor is low in weight and does not have any cup supports or the like for supporting the sample vessels.
