20190112570 · 2019-04-18 · ·

Cell separation systems and methods of separating cells are disclosed. In an embodiment, a cell separation system is described that comprises a non-transitory storage device that executes a centrifugation program to separate cell volume from biologic material volume; a heating mechanism; a containment mechanism; and an assembly comprised of a single-walled centrifugation bowl. In an embodiment, methods of separating cells are disclosed whereby cells are separated by agitating a volume of biologic material and a volume digestion media to form a digested volume of biologic material; centrifuging the digested volume of biologic material; removing a portion of a resulting waste via at least one fluid outlet; isolating a different portion of the waste, and removing the concentrated cell volumes from the reservoir.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CENTRIFUGAL CONCENTRATION USING VIBRATORY SURFACES AND ROTOR BOWL FOR USE THEREIN
20190060914 · 2019-02-28 ·

A rotor bowl for use in a centrifugal concentrator for separating particulate material of higher specific gravity from a liquid slurry comprising a liquid and particulate material of different specific gravities, wherein the inner surface of the rotor bowl has an outwardly inclined migration surface and a capture zone above the migration surface, wherein the capture zone has a generally vertical annular wall located radially outwardly of the migration zone, and the generally vertical annular wall has a vibratory surface adapted to be selectively vibrated to thereby stratify particulate material or slurry located in contact with or adjacent to the vibratory surface within the capture zone to thereby permit the heavier concentrate to accumulate in the area closest to the wall of the capture zone. The vibratory surface may be the continuous inner liner of the capture zone, or separate vibrating surfaces may be provided on the surface of the inner liner in the capture zone.

The vibratory motion may be provided by one or more vibrators mounted radially outwardly of each vibratory surface. The rotor bowl may also comprise a plurality of springs mounted on the outer periphery of the vibrators and which are each biased to bear against the outer surface of a vibrator to offset centrifugal force so that each vibrator is kept in contact with the vibrating surface during rotation of the hollow bowl.
