FIXED ANGLE CENTRIFUGE ROTOR WITH TUBULAR CAVITIES AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A fixed angle centrifuge rotor (10) is provided including a rotor body (12) having an upper surface (34) and a plurality of tubular cavities (60) extending from the upper surface (34) to respective bottom walls (50). A pressure plate (14) is operatively coupled to the bottom walls (50) of the tubular cavities (60) and is configured to transfer torque to the bottom walls (50). The pressure plate (14) is configured to be directly coupled to a rotor hub (16) and to receive torque directly from the rotor hub (16).
