Abstract
A tube adapter for a centrifuge rotor is characterized by generally circumferentially extending latching surfaces which are engageable by the claws of a removal tool to extract the adapter from the recess of a rotor. The latching surfaces may be defined by a continuous groove or by a pair of groove segments formed on the body of the adapter.
