ABSTRACT:
A centrifuge and method of operating it, wherein a patient sample tube is first spun while non-aligned with the centrifugal force to make use of the Boycott effect, and then while aligned with the centrifugal force to allow any gel present between the separated phases to properly seal. A latch is used to hold it in the non-aligned position until the latch is opened.
