Centrifuge system having collapsible centrifuge bags

摘要

A centrifuge cup, having a mouth-defining rim, carries a pair of separable cap member halves positioned together at the rim of the centrifuge cup, to define a cap over the mouth of the cup. Means, associated with the cap member halves, are provided for gripping the upper end of a flexible bag positioned in the cup, to prevent its collapse upon centrifugation. The flexible bag contains an inlet and an outlet, plus a third, sealed access port for access to blood cells after centrifugation, and a hanger member to permit the bag to be hung upside down in dispensing position.
