A centrifuge rotor with a body having a spin axis and a plurality of bores formed therein, each of which is adapted to support a centrifuge container. The rotor includes a load reducing feature to decrease the loading between the rotor body and the centrifuge container, during centrifugation. The load reducing feature includes separating a portion of an annular shoulder of a centrifuge container from the rotor body. The portion of the annular shoulder that is separated is disposed between the spin axis and the bore associated with the centrifuge container.
