Horizontal flow-through coil planet centrifuge

摘要

A horizontal flow-through coil planet centrifuge wherein flow-through separation columns are rotatably mounted on both sides of a rotor formed by a pair of spaced parallel rotary wings, with suitable intercoupling to avoid the need for rotary seals. Fluid circuit and adjustable valving arrangements are provided for (1) allowing two separations to be simultaneously performed, (2) for connecting the two columns in series to double the partition efficiency, or (3) using one column to separate samples in an ordinary manner while a desired portion of the eluate can be introduced into the second column to recycle.
