1. A method comprising the steps of: inserting a device comprising a cannula into an open end of a primary vessel comprising a suspension comprising a target material, wherein the device extends upwardly from the open end of the primary vessel; providing a processing vessel comprising mating the processing vessel with the device, wherein the cannula extends through the resealable plug of the processing vessel and accesses the inner cavity of processing vessel and wherein the processing vessel extends upwardly from the device; adding a displacement fluid comprising a density greater than a density of the target material to the inner cavity of the processing vessel; and centrifuging the primary vessel, the device, the displacement fluid, and the processing vessel, wherein during centrifuging, the displacement fluid flows into the primary vessel via the device and displaces the target material from the primary vessel, which flows into the processing vessel through the device via the cannula.
