DENSITY PHASE SEPARATION DEVICE

摘要

A device for separating a fluid sample within a collection container, comprising a separator having a through-hole defined therethrough along a through-axis. The separator comprises a float, having a first density and a ballast, having a second density greater than the first density, wherein a portion of the float is connected to a portion of the ballast. The separator has a center of mass and a center of volume that is offset from the center of mass. The float defines an upper exterior surface of the separator, the ballast defines a lower exterior surface of the separator, and the through-axis is disposed within a plane angled with respect to a plane extending vertically from an apex of the upper exterior surface of the float to an apex of the lower exterior surface of the ballast and bisecting a center of the separator.
