Abstract:
1. An apparatus for collection of human biological material and post-collection processing of collected material, the apparatus being orientable in an access orientation, as oriented in the access orientation the apparatus comprising: a filter; a container having an internal containment volume having a volume in a range of from 100 cubic centimeters to 1300 cubic centimeters, the internal containment volume comprising: an inlet port in fluid communication with the tissue retention volume and configured for introducing human biological material directly into the tissue retention volume; a suction port in fluid communication with the filtrate volume and providing access to the filtrate volume for suctioning from the filtrate volume components passing through the filter from the tissue retention volume to the filtrate volume; and an extraction port in fluid communication with the internal containment volume and configured for removing processed biological material from the internal containment volume; wherein each of the inlet port, the suction port and the extraction port is configured for access therethrough from above the container into the internal containment volume; a mixing device disposed at least in part within the tissue retention volume for mixing contents within the tissue retention volume, wherein the mixing device comprises a rotatable shaft extending from outside of the internal containment volume to inside of the internal containment volume, wherein the shaft is rotatable about an axis that extends through the collection volume, the apparatus further comprising: a lumen extending through the rotatable shaft and having a proximal end located outside of the internal containment volume and a distal end located within the internal containment volume, thereby providing access from outside of the internal containment volume to inside of the internal containment volume.
