  • Liquid Sample Collection Device for Zonal Centrifugation
    Publication number: 20100311560
    Abstract: A collection device that captures liquid sample that may spill or leak during the process of loading or unloading liquid sample while a centrifuge rotor is spinning. Such capture prevents the leaked liquid sample from coming into contact with sensitive components inside the centrifuge chamber, thereby protecting the centrifuge from damage.
