BIOLOGICAL CELL SEPARATOR AND DISPOSABLE KIT

摘要

A disposable kit for use in directing fluid through a biological cell separator device (10). The kit generally includes a separator tube (22), a buffer fluid container (34), cell sample container (32), separated cell container (60), and flushing fluid container (62), as well as various conduits (36, 38, 42, 50, 50a, 50b) for connecting the containers (32, 34, 60, 62) and separator tube (22) in fluid communication together. A cell separator system is provided including a separator tube (22), magnet (20), pump (120) and a motorized drive unit (96). The motorized drive unit (96) is operatively connected to the magnet (20) to allow the magnet (20) to be moved a sufficient distance away from the separator tube (22) so as to allow cells adhered to the inside surface thereof to be flushed out of the tube (22).
