Abstract: A centrifuge rotor (10) includes a closure (32) between a lower part (12) of the centrifuge rotor (10) and a cover (14). The centrifuge rotor has been improved such that proper single-handed operation is made possible. In particular, the closure (32) can be closed and detached again using just one hand. The cover (14) includes a circular cut-out (20) for fastening the centrifuge rotor (10) in a centrifuge. The cover (14) is attached to the lower part (12) by levers having a concave shaping (66). The cover (14) and the levers cooperate to provide a visual indication whether the cover is properly closed.

Abstract: A fixed-angle rotor for centrifuges includes stiffening ribs on the lower side of its rotor body. Its rotational energy is comparatively low during operation even at high speeds, whereby safety is noticeably increased without the need for a reinforced armored vessel in the centrifuge that is equipped therewith. At the same time, the drive power required to drive the fixed-angle rotor remains low. The fixed-angle rotor also withstands extreme loads over a long period of time. In addition, the fixed-angle rotor can be manufactured cost-effectively, because no additional components are required; rather, the stiffening ribs can also be manufactured during the manufacture of the rotor body. Finally, very thin rotor shells can also be used, which improves the temperature control of the samples, because the fixed-angle rotor has very good structural stability, especially in the main load directions.

Abstract: A centrifuge rotor for sample vessels includes a seal between a lower part and a cover. The seal comprises a gasket, which is arranged in a first groove. The first groove is arranged on one of the elements constituted by the cover and the lower part. The first groove, in relation to the axis of rotation of the centrifuge rotor, is open axially toward the other of the elements constituted by the cover and the lower part.

Abstract: A connection construction (10), between a centrifuge rotor (12) and a drive shaft (14) of a laboratory centrifuge (100), allows one-handed operation that does not require any additional tools. The connection construction (10) is designed such that the locking mechanism (16, 48) is constantly guaranteed, preventing the jamming or blocking of the locking elements (16, 48). In addition, the user receives a reliable indication of a locked state (16, 48) by a clearly noticeable click.

Abstract: A centrifuge includes a swing rotor. Rotor arms of the swing rotor have recesses into which hangers of the swing rotor at least partially swing in a swung-out state. As a result, the centrifuge container and thus also the centrifuges are more compact, because the swinging-out requires less space. An inertial mass of the swing rotor is reduced due to the recesses provided therein, whereby energy consumption, primarily when starting the centrifuge, is significantly reduced.

Abstract: A connection construction (100) between a centrifuge rotor (102) and a drive shaft (104) of a laboratory centrifuge (200) allows one-handed operation that does not require any additional tools. The connection construction (100) is designed such that the locking mechanism (118, 132, 134) is constantly guaranteed, preventing the jamming or blocking of the locking elements (118, 134).
