FLEXIBLE BAG ASSEMBLY FOR MAGNETIC SEPARATOR

摘要

A flexible container arrangement useful for performing the magnetic separation of paramagnetic particles from a heterogeneous biological mixture. The flexible container arrangement of the invention includes two or more flexible containers (20, 22) having inlet and outlet ports. A flexible conduit (32) is connected between an outlet port of a first container and an inlet port of a second container. Another flexible conduit (32) is connected to an outlet port of the second container to allow for the discharge of fluid. The second flexible container (20, 22) is designed to provide for a reduction in fluid velocity at a rate of from about 1/7 to about 1/3 of the fluid velocity through the outlet conduit. The second container (20, 22) is also designed to provide a depth of fluid flow of about 0.02 to about 0.04 inch.
