This mHct microhematocrit carrier is designed to hold 75mm capillary tubes for use in a centrifuge accommodating standard 15mL tubes. It's an improvement on the design included with the USA E8 Combination Centrifuge (whose original carriers appeared to also be 3D printed).
Design features
- Fully enclosed carrier for tube stability
- Identification dots for each slot (1, 2, 3, 4)
- Chamfers and top grip for easy handling and operation
Printing instructions
- Select a material appropriate to your usage.
- Print the .stl file as oriented (open end on the build plate).
Operational and safety notes
- Follow all manufacturer directions for the operation of your centrifuge.
- The fully enclosed construction, and the FFF process, makes it difficult to clean. Please develop appropriate cleaning/reuse procedures as needed based on your usage.
Other notes
- I designed this model in OpenSCAD and it's fully parameterized. If you'd like a simple modification (i.e., tube size, external dimensions), send me a message and I'll see what I can do.
