SEPARATING AND TRANSFERRING PHASES OF A FLUID THROUGH CENTRIFUGATION

摘要

A system for separating and transferring phases of a fluid through centrifugation comprising a centrifuge having a rotating axis, a platform that is rotatable around the rotating axis; and a device for separating and transferring the phases of the fluid. The device comprises a separating container and a receiving container connected to the separating container through a connecting channel. A passive valve system is provided in the connecting channel. The device is mounted in the centrifuge platform such that in use at a first predefined range of centrifugal force a fluid provided within the separating container is separated into phases and at a second predefined range of centrifugal force the valve system opens thereby transferring a phase of the fluid from the separating container to the receiving container.
