Abstract

A device for insertion into a rotor of a centrifuge has at least two bodies stacked one above the other in a stacking direction inside a housing insertable into a holder of the rotor of the centrifuge. The two bodies are movably disposed in relation to each other inside the housing in order to fluidically couple, in a first phase, responding to a rotation of the rotor, a first cavity of the first body to a first cavity of the second body and to fluidically couple in a second phase a second cavity of the first body to the first cavity of the second body.
