Abstract: The present invention relates to a centrifuge rotor, in particular a laboratory centrifuge rotor, including a rotor body, wherein the rotor body at least partially includes a porous metal or a porous metal alloy and an armoring located radially outside with respect to the rotation axis of the rotor body is provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a centrifuge rotor, in particular a laboratory centrifuge rotor, including a rotor body, wherein the rotor body at least partially includes a porous metal or a porous metal alloy and an armoring located radially outside with respect to the rotation axis of said rotor body is provided. The centrifuge rotor allows centrifugation to be performed in a shorter time than previously and at a higher rotational speed. This results, inter alia, in higher RCA (relative centrifugal acceleration) values and thus in a very rapid separation of the constituents of the substances to be centrifuged.

Abstract: A medical flushing and suctioning device for flushing and suctioning off body areas in an operating area is described, which consists of a flushing and suctioning lancet and a connected valve arrangement with switchable valves, which depending on the valve position supply a flushing fluid to the flushing and suctioning lancet or switch the lancet into a suctioning function. For improved handling of the device, the invention provides that all functional parts are combined in a device that can be manually held.
