CENTRIFUGE SYSTEM

摘要

In some embodiments, a magnetically activated separation valve selectively permits fluid to flow before and during centrifugation, and obstructs fluid flow after centrifugation. The valve can be disposed in a sample container such as a test tube. In some embodiments, a centrifuge induces a magnetic field to open or close the valve. A portable embodiment of a centrifuge system allows samples to be processed more quickly outside of a traditional laboratory setting.
