CENTRIFUGE APPARATUS, CENTRIFUGE TUBES, AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED CELL PREPARATION

摘要

An automated centrifuge apparatus for conducting a cell preparation procedure is provided. A rotor assembly supports centrifuge tubes, which are installable at respective tube positions. The tube positions are indexable to an index location. A sensing module monitors the index location during a set of status checks, which relate to the centrifuge tubes. Logic signals generated by the sensing module are used to automatically determine whether the status checks are satisfied.
