VACUUM CENTRIFUGE AND METHOD

A vacuum centrifuge (10) has a housing (15) and a vacuum chamber (14a) which is disposed in the housing (14) and is connected to a vacuum pump (26) via a suction line system (24, 48) in order to generate a required vacuum in the vacuum chamber (14a). The vacuum centrifuge (10) has a rotor (12), moun...

More Information
Summary:A vacuum centrifuge (10) has a housing (15) and a vacuum chamber (14a) which is disposed in the housing (14) and is connected to a vacuum pump (26) via a suction line system (24, 48) in order to generate a required vacuum in the vacuum chamber (14a). The vacuum centrifuge (10) has a rotor (12), mounted rotatably about its rotor axis (12a) in the vacuum chamber (14a) and provided with sample container receptacles (64) for introducing sample containers (66) into the sample container receptacles (64). The vacuum centrifuge (10) also comprises a cover (16) disposed on the housing (14), closes the vacuum chamber (14a) in a vacuum-tight manner and, in the open state, frees the rotor (12) to enable loading and unloading of the rotor (12) with sample containers (66). Only one drive motor (52a) is provided for the rotor (12), disposed outside the vacuum chamber (14a) and coupled to the rotor (12) in the vacuum chamber (14a) to transmit the driving torque as part of a first drive mechanism. The rotor (12) is designed as a rotor of a dual centrifuge.
