    Abstract: Fluid separation chambers are provided for rotation about an axis in a fluid processing system. The fluid separation chamber may be provided with first and second stages, with the first and second stages being positioned at different axial locations. In another embodiment, at least one of the stages may be provided with a non-uniform outer diameter about the rotational axis, which may define a generally spiral-shaped profile or a different profile for fractionating a fluid or fluid component. One or more of the stages may also have a varying outer diameter along the axis. The profile of the chamber may be provided by the chamber itself (in the case of rigid chambers) or by an associated fixture or centrifuge apparatus (in the case of flexible chambers).

    Abstract: Centrifuges are provided for rotating fluid separation chambers about an axis in a fluid processing system. The centrifuge may be provided with high- and low-G walls, with a gap defined between the high- and low-G walls. A first section of the gap may have a substantially uniform radius about the axis, while a second section of the gap may have a non-uniform radius about the axis. The radius of the second section of the gap about the axis at all locations is no larger than the radius of the first section of the gap about the axis. The high-G wall may comprise an inner surface of an outer bowl, while the low-G wall may comprise an outer surface of an inner spool. At least a portion of the second section of the gap may have a varying radius along the axis and/or be configured as a spiral.
