  • Patent number: 10625273
    Abstract: A centrifuge insert for sample receivers and to a carrier for a centrifuge insert for sample receivers with snap locking connection. The centrifuge insert according to the invention has substantial advantages over known centrifuge inserts. These advantages are not limited to the fact that the carrier is attachable and disengageable in a particularly easy and comfortable manner. It is also feasible to use various carriers for different sample receivers. Furthermore, the centrifuge insert according to the invention is configured particularly light and compact so that a loading of the rotor is significantly lower for identical centrifugation powers or so that significantly higher RCA values can be used.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130116104
    Abstract: A centrifuge bucket for centrifuging materials, in particular in laboratory centrifuges. The centrifuge bucket is operable in a very simple manner and facilitates safe and constant closure over the service life of the centrifuge bucket. Thus, the centrifuge bucket handles much better than known centrifuge buckets because real one hand operation without using a second hand is facilitated. Furthermore, the centrifuge bucket can be produced in a simpler and more cost-effective manner while being equally suitable for a given centrifugation power and centrifugation capacity.

  • Patent number: 7707895
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for examining the resistance of a connection between two bodies, whereby one of the bodies only has a small mass. A correspondingly directed force is exerted upon the connection until disconnection thereof. The force used is the centrifugal force which acts at a distance from a rotational axis in a concentric manner about said rotated connection. Said method is particularly advantageous if the body having a small mass is a coating which is applied to the other body. In order to obtain a sufficiently high centrifugal force, an examining stamp is applied to the body having the small mass and/or the coating on the side oriented away from the connection. The adhesion between the body and/or the coating and the examining stamp is greater than between both of the bodies and/or the coating and the other body.
