    摘要: A decanter centrifuge includes one or more nozzles through which a slurry may be discharged from a feed chamber into a separation zone within a centrifuge bowl. A scroll conveyor may be coaxially aligned in the separation zone within the centrifuge bowl around the circumference of the feed chamber. In the separation zone, the slurry can be separated into at least a light phase and a heavy phase by centrifugal acceleration generated by rotation of the centrifuge bowl, the feed chamber, and/or the scroll conveyor. Each separated phase can discharge from the centrifuge bowl via respective discharge ports. Each nozzle may include a rectangular aperture and differentiated profiles of its leading edge and trailing edge. In some embodiments, the leading edge of the aperture comprises a rounded profile, while the trailing edge comprises an abrupt edge or a less-rounded edge.

    摘要: Disclosed is a bioprocessing system comprising apparatus (200) including a centrifugal separation housing (210) having a temperature controllable compartment (215) for removably accepting a separation chamber (50), the apparatus further comprising at least one mixing station (250) for supporting one or more fluid storage vessels (10, 20, 30, 40), the station including a temperature controllable area (252) for increasing or decreasing the temperature of the contents of the or each supported vessel. The system further includes a disposable fluidic arrangement (100) including a centrifugal separation chamber (50) removably mountable within the compartment (215) and having one or more ports (52) allowing fluid ingress into, or egress out of the chamber, via the one or more ports in use, said ports being in fluid communication with one or more of said fluid storage vessels via fluid conduits (12, 22, 32, 42) and via one or more valve arrangement.

    摘要: A washing liquid distribution element attached to an upper portion of a rotor body includes an upper distribution element and a lower distribution element. A washing liquid is supplied from a washing liquid introduction port during rotation of a rotor and enters a recessed inner portion of the lower distribution element. The washing liquid entered in the inner portion moves from the vicinity of rotation center toward a radially outer side to climb an inclined part by centrifugal force. Washing liquid passages are formed in a radial pattern at a lower annular part at a tip of the inclined part, and the washing liquid is discharged radially outward from discharge ports of the washing liquid passages. Formation of the inclined part makes it possible to evenly distribute the washing liquid into test tubes.
