1. A portable centrifuge comprising:
a housing comprising a trigger slot and a rotational mechanism, the rotational mechanism comprising a circuit, an electrical motor, a switch and an electrical power source;
a centrifugal container including a longitudinal axis; the centrifugal container disposed onto the housing, at least a portion of the centrifugal container engages with the rotational mechanism to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis; and
a protective cover comprising a body including a top end and a bottom end with an opening positioned at the bottom end, the body further comprising an activation tab extending from the bottom end of the body of the protective cover,
the protective cover being disposed over the centrifugal container with at least a portion of the activation tab extending through the trigger slot in the housing, the protective cover and activation tab being rotatably movable relative to the housing and the trigger slot from a first position where the switch does not activate the rotational mechanism to a second position where the switch does activate the rotational mechanism to rotate the centrifugal container relative to the protective cover.
