Abstract

A system for separating components of a composition according to density. The system includes a torque generating device, a separation device, and a housing. The separation device separates the composition into different components according to density. The housing accommodates the separation device. The housing includes a base having an interface that transfers torque from the torque generating device to the separation device, a cover, and a conduit for introducing the composition into the separation device without opening the cover.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for separating components of whole blood comprising:
Sealing a sterilized separation device within a container having a base and a cover such that the separation device is in cooperation with an interface at the base of the container;
Inserting whole blood into the sterilized separation device sealed within the container by injecting said whole blood through a conduit that extends through the container and mates with the separation device;
