Classification: CPC A  C  G | IPC A  C  G

Claim 0:
1. A cell processing system comprising:
at least one processor connectable to a source container filled with a biological fluid, the at least one processor comprising:
a spinning membrane configured to receive and separate target cells from the biological fluid, the target cells exiting at a first outlet;
at least a first container and a second container selectively connected to the first outlet; and
a magnet; and

a controller coupled to the at least one processor and configured:
to operate the spinning membrane to receive biological fluid from the source container and to direct the target cells to the first container;
to pause operation of the processor to permit magnetic particles to be associated with the target cells in the first container;
to operate the spinning membrane to receive the contents of the first container with the magnet applied to the target cells associated with the magnetic particles in the first container;
to remove and/or deactivate the magnet applied to the target cells associated with the magnetic particles in the first container;
to transfer the target cells to the second container after removal and/or deactivation of the magnet; and
to prompt an operator to remove the second container after the target cells are transferred to the second container.
