DENSITY PHASE SEPARATION DEVICE

摘要

A device for separating a liquid sample within a collection container, comprising a separator having an open through-hole defined therethrough, the through-hole defining a first open face at a first end of the separator and a second open face at a second end of the separator, the first end of the separator substantially opposite the second end of the separator, wherein the through-hole is adapted for liquid to pass therethrough, the separator comprising a float and a ballast wherein the float defines a first exterior surface of the separator extending from a portion of the first open face to a portion of the second open face, the ballast defines a second exterior surface, the second exterior surface substantially opposite the first exterior surface, and at least a portion of the separator is adapted to deform upon application of rotational force.
