Spanish term or phrase: Cestillas porta-tarjetas
User instructions for a centrifuge...looks like the cards are inserted into the "cestillas". I´m considering something like "small basket card carriers" but not quite sure if I´m on the right track here.

El Cabezal de centrifugación es un soporte circular con 24 posiciones numeradas con **Cestillas porta-tarjetas** que permiten acomodar las tarjetas en su interior para su centrifugación.

Proceder a la descontaminación de las superficies (Cámara, Tapas, Cabezal, **Cestillas**, etc.) utilizando una solución acuosa de hipoclorito sódico al 0.5 % (v/v). Para ello, limpiar las superficies con toallitas o torundas desechables empapadas con el desinfectante de forma que queden totalmente mojadas.

Explanation:
The above may help, if you look on internet sites you will see that "rack" could be a good option for "cestillas". I found quite a few sites that used the term relating it with cards for centrifuge machines. The website indicated might help you. Good luck...
