ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding the stator of a vessel rotatable about an axis of rotation, includes a pivotable swing arm having a first end and a second end, the second end having an engagement portion for contacting the stator of a rotating vessel. A support is connected to the first end of the swing arm and has an axis spaced from and substantially parallel to the axis of rotation. The support cooperates with the swing arm to permit the swing arm to pivot toward and away from the stator. A detent finger, located in the swing arm cooperates with the stator to hold the stator against rotation when the swing arm is in a predetermined angular position, and maintains the stator in a fixed position relative to the swing arm during a centrifuge operation. Finally, a detent cam assembly resists pivotal movement of the swing arm when the swing arm is in the predetermined angular position.
