Abstract
An apparatus for holding a sample tube includes a plurality of rollers circumscribing a clearance space along a central axis, and an actuator configured for moving the rollers between a non-gripping position and a gripping position. At the non-gripping position, the rollers are oriented relative to the central axis such that a diameter of the clearance space is at a maximum; and at the gripping position, the rollers are at a twisted angle relative to the central axis, and the diameter is reduced such that the rollers contact the sample tube.
