<p>A centrifugal separator characterized in that (i) a centrifugal space consists of a peripheral slot having an outside peripheral wall inclining toward a central axis of a rotor at an inclination angle of 30 to 80 DEG in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the rotor, (ii) the peripheral slot exists with a length of an outside wall corresponding to an angular range of not less than 360 DEG around the central axis of the rotor, (iii) the peripheral slot has such a space that the liquid fluid forms a continuous flow, (iv) the peripheral slot has a feed opening or a discharge opening of the liquid fluid at, or near, the farthest position from the central axis of the rotor, and (v) the peripheral slot has a feed opening or a discharge opening of the liquid fluid at, or near, the nearest position from the central axis of the rotor, as well as a method of separating animal cells from an animal cell-containing suspension using the centrifugal separator, and a method of culturing animal cells in suspension using the centrifugal separator. </p> |
