Abstract:

Instrumentation is provided for the separation of a multiple component sample, such as BMA containing lysed red blood cells and a lysing agent, into a desired component, for example a cell pellet containing stem cells, and a remaining component. The application discloses a device that includes a separator configured to separate the desired portion from the remaining portion, a collector that is supported by the separator and configured to collect the desired component of the multiple component sample after the desired component has been separated from the remaining component by the separator, and a housing that at least partially encloses and supports the separator and the collector.
