INCLUDING INTRODUCTION OF DIFFERING-WEIGHT FLUIDS (E.G., LIQUIDS) FOR COUNTERCURRENT FLOW | 3 |
| 20090075801 | COUNTER-CENTRIFUGAL FORCE DEVICE - Disclosed herein are integrated microfluidic devices and methods of using the devices for large panel detection and multi-step procedures within a single, enclosed structure. The methods and devices provided herein are capable of two-dimensional and three-dimensional fluid pumping along a disc surface and among multiple discs. In an embodiment, one or more pumps are used to propel sample in a direction opposite the direction of centrifugal force such that sample flows both radially outward and radially inward relative to the disc's axis of rotation. This effectively provides an increase in usable disc space for the flow of sample. The disclosed devices and methods reduce, minimize, or eliminate the surface area limitation of known integrated microfluidic devices. Thus, the disclosed devices provide increased usable surface area of a rotating disc structure. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20100120597 | CENTRIFUGE WITH NON-SYNCHRONOUS DRIVE SYSTEM - A centrifuge may include a main drive system having a first axis of rotation and a bobbin carrier having a bobbin axis of rotation that is parallel to and offset from the first axis of rotation. A transmission system may be connected to the main drive system via a differential in order to transmit power from the main drive system to rotate the carrier bobbin around the first axis of rotation and to rotate the carrier around the bobbin axis of rotation such that the bobbin can rotate around the first axis of rotation at a different speed than the bobbin rotates around the bobbin axis of rotation. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20130005556 | Device and Method for Placing Immiscible Fluid Phases in Contact with Each Other by Means of Centrifugal Force - The present invention relates to a device and a method for placing immiscible fluid phases in contact with each other by means of centrifugal force, in particular in order to extract compounds from one of said phases by another phase. Said device comprises at least one contacting unit ( | 01-03-2013 |

BOWL AND MEANS EXTERNAL THEREOF FOR RECIRCULATING MATERIAL | 2 |
| 20140221186 | CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR WITH EXTENDED POST - A centrifugal separator includes a separation barrel with an upper end, a lower end, a central axis, and a cylindrical wall defining a separation chamber. A spin plate extends substantially across the separation chamber adjacent to the lower end thereof. A post including a central passage extends from the spin plate along the central axis of the separation barrel. The post includes at least one opening for fluid to flow from the central passage of the post to the separation chamber. An inlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber allows solids-laden fluid to flow into the separation chamber. An outlet in fluid communication with the separation chamber allows substantially-clean fluid to flow out of the separation chamber and out of the device. | 08-07-2014 |
| 20140378290 | Blood Component Separation Device - A blood component separation device includes a centrifuge bowl for separating a blood component from blood, a plasma bag for storing a plasma component, a platelet intermediate bag for storing high-concentration platelet liquid having high-concentration of platelets, and a temporary storage bag (also used as a buffy coat bag) for storing low-concentration platelet liquid having low-concentration of platelets. The blood component separation device performs control, from the second cycle onward, to mix the low-concentration platelet liquid stored in the temporary storage bag in the immediately preceding cycle with whole blood to supply the mixed liquid to the centrifuge bowl. An amount of high-concentration platelet liquid to be collected in the platelet intermediate bag in the first cycle is set to be smallest among all cycles, and an amount of high-concentration platelet liquid to be collected in a last cycle is set to be greatest among all the cycles. | 12-25-2014 |

| 20100323870 | Apparatus and Method for Separating and Concentrating Fluids Containing Multiple Components - An apparatus that allows for separating and collecting a fraction of a sample. The apparatus, when used with a centrifuge, allows for the creation of at least three fractions in the apparatus. It also provides for a new method of extracting the buffy coat phase from a whole blood sample. A buoy system that may include a first buoy portion and a second buoy member operably interconnected may be used to form at least three fractions from a sample during a substantially single centrifugation process. Therefore, the separation of various fractions may be substantially quick and efficient. | 12-23-2010 |
