摘要:
Methods, devices and device components are presented for uniformly treating fluids undergoing mixing with electromagnetic radiation. In one aspect, the present invention provides methods of treating a fluid undergoing continuous fluid mixing wherein net radiant energies necessary to provide uniform treatment of the fluid samples with electromagnetic radiation are calculate on the basis of the volume, mass or mixing rate of the fluid or any combination of these variables. In another aspect, the present invention provides algorithms for determining net radiation energies, radiant powers, and/or illumination times necessary for providing uniform treatment of fluid samples. The present invention provides methods for uniformly reducing pathogens in biological fluids, including blood and blood components.
摘要:
An apparatus for separating at least two discrete volumes of a composite liquid into at least a first component and a second component, comprising a well provided on a rotor near the axis of rotation for receiving a relatively rare blood component, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), or for receiving a fluid that can be used multiple times, such as a washing solution. The well is placed radially outwardly from the axis of rotation and radially inwardly from cavity, which receives bags containing blood or another biologic fluid. The well is placed in a low centrifugal force region relative to the position of the cavity.
