<p>A filtration system for the filtration of a biological fluid includes a filtration device (100) interposed between a fluid supply source (110) and a collection container (120). The filtration device (100) includes a filtration assembly disposed within a housing (210). The housing (210) has an inlet (212) for receiving unfiltered fluid from the supply source (110) and an outlet (214) for exiting filtered fluid to the collection container (120). The filtration assembly includes a central core (250) projecting into the housing (210) and surrounded by filter material (242). The housing (210) may be collapsible around the filter material (242) to aid in the flow of the fluid and minimize hold-up fluid upstream of the filtration device (100).</p> |
