Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for gripping a centrifuge bowl includes a single pivoting retaining arm having a stationary jaw. The retaining arm is capable of pivoting into and out of position such that the centrifuge bowl can be loaded and unloaded. A moveable jaw pivots about the retaining arm to lock the stem of the centrifuge bowl against the stationary jaw when actuated by a latching mechanism. At the same time, a catch on the latching mechanism locks the retaining arm to a latching shaft.
