  • Patent number: 9802208
    Abstract: A centrifugal rotor includes a support disk and a centrifugal carrier. The centrifugal carrier is assembled within the support disk. The centrifugal carrier includes an arc-shaped body, a sample application chamber, a sample metering chamber, a diluent chamber, a diluent metering chamber, a metering control member and a mixing chamber. The sample metering chamber is communicated with the sample application chamber. The sample metering chamber is positioned radially outward from the sample application chamber. The diluent metering chamber is communicated with the diluent chamber. The diluent metering chamber is positioned radially outward from diluent chamber. The metering control member is slidingly connected within or detachably fixed to the sample metering, chamber or the diluent metering chamber. The mixing chamber is communicated with the diluent metering chamber and the sample metering chamber respectively.
