Abstract:
A rotating separator including a filter element extending axially along a longitudinal axis and including a first endplate, a second endplate, and a separating element. The first endplate includes a center tube. The second endplate is coupled to the first endplate and includes a central aperture having a perimeter and receiving the center tube. The filter element also includes an axially extending slot and an axially extending protrusion positioned on one of the first endplate and the second endplate and configured to engage with each other. The first and second endplates form an interior cavity when coupled together. The rotating separator includes a filter structure positioned within the interior cavity.

Abstract:
Multi-component separation devices configured to separate components of a liquid sample by centrifugation are provided. Aspects of the separation devices include a container having a distal end and a proximal end and a buoy configured to be displaced along a longitudinal axis within the container where the buoy includes one or more sealed chambers. Also provided are methods of using the subject devices to separate components of a multi-component liquid sample such as whole blood, bone marrow aspirate or stromal vascular fraction as well as systems suitable for practicing the subject methods.
Abstract:
A method for the separation of liquid CO 2 from a 2 phase feed stream, the process comprising the steps of: cooling the feed stream to a cryogenic temperature; expanding the cooled stream so as to further lower the temperature of the feed through expansion; mechanically separating the expanded stream, using a mechanical separator, into a gas phase and a liquid CO 2 phase, and; venting the gas phase and outflowing the liquid CO 2 .
Abstract:
Methods and devices for molecular analysis are disclosed, based on centrifugation. A centrifuge device comprises strips of centrifuge tubes and elements to create a magnetic field. The magnetic shear forces applied to beads inside a solution with biological molecules permit the performance of different analytic techniques, such as lysis and sample preparation for PCR.
Abstract:
A centrifuge vessel is configured to have at least two chambers therein separated by a divider, and with a spillway around a lip at an end of the divider to join the chambers. After centrifugation differing density phases of an original sample remain on opposite sides of the divider. Separate extraction ports are provided for removal of differing density phases of the original sample from opposite sides of the divider. A method of use of the centrifuge vessel includes centrifugation and extraction at differing orientations of the vessel for convenient and reliable extraction of differing density fractions from the original sample.
Abstract:
A system, device, and method for particle processing, more specifically particle separation based upon particle size. The device includes a processing module that includes a plurality of separation ports, each separation port within the plurality of separation ports configured to receive samples including particles. The device enables multiple samples to be simultaneously processed during operation, more specifically centrifugation, of the processing module. Each separation port is fluidly communicable with a space (e.g., sample collection space) defined by a housing module of the device. Introduction of samples into the plurality of separation ports can be controlled. Residual sample received or collected by the housing module can be removed or drained from the housing module during centrifugation of the processing module.
Abstract:
To enable centrifugal filtration of fluids which contain abrasive contaminant particles the rotor bearing (3) must be isolated from the fluid which passes into and through the rotor chamber (21). This is achieved by a design in which the spindle (4) is connected to the rotor so as to rotate in unison with the rotor )5, 6, 7) relative to the base (1). The bearings (3) for the spindle (4) are provided in a bearing housing (2) which is fixedly mounted to the base (1) and a sealing arrangement, preferably a spring-loaded axial seal (14, 15), is provided between the spindle (4) and the base (1) at a location below the bearings (3) in the bearing housing (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a centrifuge for separating solids from a liquid, comprising a centrifuge rotor 10 with a rotor shaft 11, partially formed as a hollow shaft, and a centrifuging drum 20, being rotatable with the rotor shaft, wherein the liquid to be separated can be supplied via the cavity of the hollow shaft. To ease emptying of the drum, the centrifuging drum 20 comprises a drum lower part 21 and a drum upper part 22, which bears loosely against said drum lower part 21. The upper part 22 is guided in an axially movable manner on the shaft 11 and is movable by means of a disengagement mechanism 70 parallel to the rotor axis into an open position in which, for self-emptying of the interior space 27, the drum parts 21, 22 are spaced apart from one another while they still rotate with the rotor shaft 11.
