A continuous flow type centrifuge to which a liquid sample is continuous
supplied. The centrifuge includes a rotor rotatably supported by a main
housing and drivingly rotated by a motor. The rotor includes a
cylindrical rotor body, a hollow cylindrical core body, and end plates.
The hollow cylindrical core body is disposed in the rotor body providing
a space therebetween. The core body has an upper open end, a lower open
end and an outer peripheral surface provided with a plurality of
partitioning walls positioned at an equal interval in a circumferential
direction of the core body for providing a plurality of cavities each
defined by the core body, the rotor body and neighboring partitioning
walls. The end plates include an upper end plate disposed to cover the
upper open end, and a lower end plate disposed to cover the lower open
end. An upper welding part is disposed at a boundary between the upper
end plate and the upper open end, and a lower welding part is disposed at
a boundary between the lower plate and the lower open end. The components
of the rotor are made from heat resistant and corrosion resistant
material, typically titanium or titanium alloy.
