Abstract:
1. A bio cell cleaning centrifuge for cleaning bio cell with a cleaning liquid, the centrifuge comprising: a main case; a drive mechanism supported in the main case and defining a rotation axis; a rotor detachably coupled to the drive mechanism and rotationally driven about the rotation axis by the drive mechanism; a plurality of test tube holders pivotally movably supported to the rotor, the test tubes held by the test tube holders being pivotally movable toward a horizontal direction upon application of centrifugal force thereto; a cleaning liquid distributor disposed above the rotor and rotatable together with the rotor for evenly distributing the cleaning liquid to the respective test tubes held by the test tube holders, the cleaning liquid distributor being detachable from the rotor; a cleaning liquid supplying mechanism provided to the main case for supplying the cleaning liquid to the cleaning liquid distributor; a posture maintaining unit disposed adjacent to the drive mechanism for maintaining a predetermined orientation of the test tube holders for a discharge of a supernatant liquid from the test tubes during rotation of the rotor; an inner chamber body disposed below the test tube holders for temporarily receiving the supernatant liquid discharged out of the test tubes, the inner chamber body being detachable from the main case; and an outer chamber body disposed below the inner chamber body and surrounding the inner chamber body.
