Bucket Agree with bucket but since we don't know what is centrifuged here, not sure about "swing". It could be a standard "plot" (not swinging).
Can you can tell us what must be centrifuged ?
clairewad (asker) Jan 27, 2010:
OK excellent, thank you so much!
Jean-Louis S. Jan 27, 2010:
Buckets This is how we call them in the lab.
Metallic buckets
Balancing of buckets

Thanks for the helpful replies, I still don't see though how to translate "plot" on its own in the 3 or 4 other sentences given
"plots métalliques" "équilibrage des plots" etc

Thank you for the reply. This is helpful as I've seen something similar but it doesn't give me a translation for "plot" on its own, as given in the 4 other examples: Plots métalliques équilibrage des plots Pompe de remplissage des plots ou poches any ideas?

The versatile Centrifuge Sorvall Legend 23R has a capacity for 48 x 1.5/2.0 ml tubes and can be equipped with up to 13 different rotors accommodating the 1.5/2.0 ml micro tube, 15 ml and 50 ml conical tubes and micro plates.
Its flexibility with its extensive rotor library (12 rotors) extends the capabilities of this unit. Ideal for shared labs.
Rotors or microtube rotors seem to correspond to your demand.
