1. A centrifuge rotor to centrifuge a sample, comprising:
a support configured to be mounted rotatable around a rotation axis in a centrifuge enclosure, said enclosure defining an inner volume;
the support having at least one housing configured to receive the sample;
at least one electrically powered sensor held by the support, configured to measure a property of the sample;
a contactless power receiver, configured to receive electrical power without contact from a contactless power transmitter, the contactless power receiver being carried by the support and being jointly rotatable with the support, the contactless power receiver being electrically connected to the at least one sensor to electrically power the at least one sensor during a rotation of the support; and
a hood closing the inner volume of the enclosure, the contactless power transmitter being mounted on the hood.
