A blood component collection system (10, 12) which comprises first means (14) for collecting whole blood from a donor for separation into essentially red blood cells and platelet-rich plasma. The system (10, 12) also includes second means (16) for receiving the platelet-rich plasma from the first means (14) and for noncentrifugally separating the platelet-rich plasma into platelet concentrate and virtually platelet-free plasma. The blood component collection system (10, 12) which embodies the first means (14) and second means (16) of the invention is applicable for use in the context of either a nonautomated batch centrifugation process (10) or a continuous flow procedure (12). |
