Abstract (en)

A unitary centrifuge tube and separable sediment dispenser (10) of plastics material comprises a generally tubular portion (12) with a conical taper oonnected by a short tube (22) to a sediment receptacle (24). The receptacle (24) is easily separable from the centrifuge tube by twisting the receptacle (24) and centrifuge tube (12) with respect to each other. A short segment of the connecting tube (22) remains attached to the sediment receptacle (24) and allows convenient dispensing of the enclosed sediment by squeezing two opposed walls (34 min ) of the receptacle (24). A second pair of opposed transverse sidewalls (26 min ) is designed to resist flexing during the separation.
