PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To separate fine particles according to their specific gravities regardless of particle size by giving centrifugal force under specific conditions. SOLUTION: This particle separation apparatus includes a base 11, a disc-shaped container 13 rotatable on the base 11 and a suspension supply tank 15. The container 13 includes a plurality of fan-shaped centrifugation vessels 14 disposed around a rotation axis and in a circumferential direction of the container with equal spaces, and a particle supply cylinder 21. The vessels 14 are individually in a form of dents independent of one another and are each formed of a circumferential wall 16 and a bottom wall 17. The cylinder 21 is provided for discharging the suspension toward the centrifugation vessel 14 from the central part of the container 13, and particles contained in the suspension supplied from the suspension supply tank 15 are sorted into a plurality of particle collection pockets 22 demarcated in the circumferential direction in the inner face of the outer wall of the centrifugation vessels 14.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a centrifuge for separating a sample into at least two components, comprising a chamber for receiving a sample to be centrifuged.SOLUTION: A centrifuge further comprises a means for controlling the progress of the sample separation located at the chamber. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the means for controlling the progress of the sample separation is a window, a mirror or a prism that is located such that light from a light source can be transmitted through at least a part of the sample and that the light leaving the prism is detectable by a light detector. Further, the means for controlling the progress of the sample separation can be a double prism, with two prism sections aligned in a mirror symmetrical fashion.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method for concentrating a fluid from a body fluid of another person or animal to obtain a fluid or gel-like substance, and to provide a device and a method for treating a patient with the concentrated fluid.SOLUTION: A fluid concentrator 10 comprises: a main housing 12 defining a separation chamber; a filter housing 48 housing a filter 46 comprising a filter element; piping 44 for moving concentrated fluid from the separation chamber to the filter; and ports 32 for pressurizing the filter element of the filter to pass the concentrated fluid. The concentrated body fluids including an autologous concentrated body fluid is used in surgical application as a graft material such as allograft, xenograft and autograft.
