Abstract

A Microtiter plate centrifuge is disclosed. The centrifuge includes a motor assembly, a rotor assembly attached to the motor assembly via a shaft, the rotor assembly including at least two slots, symmetrically positioned, with respect to the shaft and a channel corresponding to each of said slots. The channels extending from the rotor assembly are suitable for holding Microtiter plates in a vertical position. Also included is a bottom plate engaging a brake pad, which when engaged creates sufficient friction to halt rotation of the rotor assembly.
