摘要： A robotic handling system is described that includes a support column aligned along a vertically aligned Z axis with a dual-wand assembly rotatably mounted atop the support column and defining a `reach` or R axis. Drive motor/encoder assemblies are mounted adjacent the support column for raising or lowering the dual-wand assembly along the Z axis and mounted within the support column for slewing the dual-wand assembly to any selected .theta. angle within the range of operation under the control of a stored program processor.

摘要： A centrifuge rotor is claimed which comprises a rotor having a plurality of radially extending arms, having a construction to matably receive a pin structure within a recess formed in the upper surface of the rotor, to support the pin structure against loads generated by centrifugal force without stressing a fastener. In assembly, the pin structures permanently mount trunnions for receiving a sample container, for pivotal movement, in a manner such that the trunnion and sample container cooperate to resist stresses and deformation caused by centrifugal loads.

摘要： A cover having a free-turning knob in its center for use on the rotor of a centrifuge. The knob includes tool means for coupling the knob with a threaded fastener securing the rotor to a drive shaft. Thus, when the cover is positioned on the rotor, the threaded fastener securing the rotor can be tightened or loosened by a turning of the knob. The rotor can thereby be removed and replaced without the use of external tools.

摘要： A centrifuge tube holder capable of being manually assembled and disassembled without separate tooling to provide not only ease of cleaning, but also interchangeability of parts to accommodate various sized centrifuge tubes. The tube holder arrangement provides proper support with a minimum of parts to create a lighter weight assembly for use in a centrifuge rotor.

摘要： A fixed angle tube carrier is provided for use with externally shouldered sample tubes and a centrifuge rotor having formed therein a plurality of symmetrically disposed vertical slots in its outer peripheral surface. The slots are formed in the shape of a "T" and adapted for sliding engagement with a tube carrier. The tube carrier comprises a vertically elongated member having a "T" shaped cross-section which is adapted for sliding engagement with the slots of the rotor. The carrier contains a plurality of circular recesses which are open at each end and adapted for holding an externally shouldered sample tube. The longitudinal axis of each recess is disposed radially of the vertical axis of the rotor and at an angle less than 90.degree. thereto.
