Abstract
A sample tube includes a cylindrical wall and a first end and a second end. The first end of the sample tube is closed by a base, such that a sample-receiving space with a longitudinal axis is formed between base and cylindrical wall. The second end has a closure piece connected releasably thereto. A weight element is received inside the receiving space and is shaped and dimensioned in such a way that the weight element can rotate freely in the receiving space only about the longitudinal axis of the latter. The application further relates to a method and a device with which a sample located in the sample tube can be dispersed or homogenized by rotational movement of the sample tube.
