Self-compensating centrifuge arm
First Claim
1. A self-compensating centrifuge arm for a centrifuge system having drive means for causing rotation of the centrifuge arm around a center of rotation, the centrifuge arm comprising:
- a first elongated member attached to the drive means for rotation, the first elongated member having a first predetermined length and extending outwardly from the center of rotation in a first direction to a terminal end portion; and
a second elongated member having a second predetermined length and a first end attached to the first elongated member at the terminal end portion thereof, the second elongated member extending through the center of rotation without being affixed to the drive means and terminating at a second end.

Abstract
A self-compensating centrifuge arm for use in a centrifuge system having drive means for causing rotation of the centrifuge arm around a center of rotation. The centrifuge arm comprises two elongated members, the first elongated member being attached to the drive means for rotation therewith and extending outwardly from the center of rotation a first predetermined length in a first direction to a terminal end portion. The second elongated member has a second predetermined length and a first end which is attached to the first elongated member at the terminal end portion thereof. The second elongated member extends generally parallel to the first elongated member through the center of rotation without being affixed to the drive means.
