Method for processing a fluid and fluid processing device

摘要

The present invention relates to improved methods for processing fluids and to a fluid processing device (1) for use in a centrifuge comprising: (a) a first holder (14) form-fit to the shape of a first tube (18) for holding said first tube (18) whereby said first tube (18) has a first cross section (A1); and (b) a second holder (22) form-fit to the shape of a second tube (26) for holding said second tube (26) whereby said second tube (26) has a second cross section (A2) that is different from said first cross section (A1). With the fluid processing devices and the methods according to the invention, it is possible to simplify the centrifugal processing steps for a given fluid processing sequence and to automate them.

1. A fluid processing device for use in a centrifuge comprising:
a) a first holder form-fit to the shape of a first tube and having a first stopper for holding said first tube; said first tube having a first cross section; and b) a second holder form-fit to the shape of a second tube and having a second stopper for holding said second tube; said second tube having a second cross section that is different from said first cross section; and c) a first container having a first container volume for holding a fluid, the first container being rigidly connected with the first holder and the second holderwhereby said first holder is arranged with respect to said first container so that a fluid flowing through said first tube flows into said first container for being collected within the first container volume,wherein said first holder has a cylindrical shape and extends to a first stopper plane defined by said first stopper,wherein said second holder has a cylindrical shape and extends to a second stopper plane defined by said second stopper,wherein said first container has an inner surface that adjoins to said second holder.
