Patent ID: 8540078

Claim:
A fluid reducing system, comprising: a container configured to rotate around an axis of rotation and having an inner wall having an inner surface to contain a whole adipose tissue sample, wherein the inner wall includes a first section where the inner surface is substantially parallel to the axis of rotation and a second section extending from the first section where the inner surface in the second section extends non-parallel to the axis of rotation to define a sump in the second section, wherein the container is positioned within an outer structure to limit access to the container while rotating the container around the axis of rotation; a plurality of throughbores formed through the first section of the inner wall extending from the inner surface to an outer surface in a perforated portion of the inner wall; a porous material covering at least a first plurality of the throughbores; and an access port through the outer structure operable to allow extraction of a drier portion of the whole adipose sample from the second section within the container after drying the whole adipose tissue sample.
