Abstract:
1. An apparatus for use with a centrifugal cellular separation device comprising a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation, the apparatus comprising: a fluid separation chamber having an interior with a first port and a second port spaced apart from the first port along an axis of the chamber and a cross sectional area generally transverse to the axis of the chamber that varies between the first port and the second port; the fluid separation chamber being configured to be mounted to the rotor so as to be rotatable therewith with the first port located at a greater radial distance from the axis of rotation than the second port; and the fluid separation chamber further comprising a third port radially intermediate the first port and the second port, each of the first, second and third ports defining an opening on the interior of the chamber, with the opening of the third port being intermediate the openings of the first and second ports.
