BIOLOGICAL FLUID PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

Systems for and methods minimizing bacterial contamination of biological fluid, particularly while allowing a portion of the biological fluid to be prepared (e.g., for testing) in a closed system, are disclosed. A system for processing a biological fluid (100) comprises a biological fluid collection device (200) for receiving a first portion of a biological fluid from a source of the biological fluid, the device being capable of being sealed while maintaining a closed system, at least a first container (30) for receiving a second portion of a biological fluid from the source of the biological fluid, wherein the biological fluid collecting device and the first container are in fluid communication with the source of the biological fluid.
