<p>A storage reservoir (10) for blood comprising: a flexible walled first chamber (A) having an inlet (11) adapted to receive blood, said flexible walled first chamber (A) having one end, a closed flexible walled second chamber (B) intended to accommodate a solution, said second chamber (B) opening into the one end of the first chamber (A) through a flow control means (14) which is capable of being opened to allow the flow of the solution from the second chamber (B) to the first chamber (A); said reservoir (10) being adapted to be located in a centifuge whereby the one end is radially outermost during centrifugation; said reservoir (10) being adapted to cause the delivery of the solution into the first chamber (A) through the flow control means (14) as a result of forces induced by the centrifugation. Also a method of separation of blood components from blood using this structure, wherein the solution has nutrient and preservative qualities appropriate to the blood component remaining at the one end and wherein the density of the solution is less than the density of red cells.</p> |
