[0016] 1. Compared with the prior art, the centrifuge adapter for preventing cross contamination in the clinical laboratory can seal the specimen solution in the container assembly twice through the mortise and tenon assembly, prevent the leakage of the solution due to damage of the specimen container or poor sealing between the specimen container and the rubber container plug, or the destruction of the sealing property of the contact part between the specimen container and the rubber container plug when the centrifuge is centrifuging the specimen container, and thus cause cross contamination of the specimen solution.
[0017] 2. Compared with the prior art, the centrifuge adapter for preventing cross contamination in the clinical laboratory can control the number of specimen containers that need to be centrifuged through the connecting groove and the connecting block of the fixed mold.
