Abstract
Abstract The specification describes a double sector cell for ultra-centrifuges. It comprises a tubular housing comprising a lower window holder with a lower window, a cell arrangement and an upper window holder with an upper window. There are radial filling openings, which allow access to one respective cell of the cell arrangement and are closed by sealing plugs. The cell arrangement comprises two sector cell center pieces forming respected pairs of cell chambers. Between the chambers a center window is arranged in a centering ring. The housing has two pairs of filling openings, which when the cell is assembled are flush with the associated filling holes of the center pieces.
