Implementation of a semiclosed large scale counterflow centrifugal elutriation system. 1987

I K Gao, and S J Noga, and J E Wagner, and C A Cremo, and J Davis, and A D Donnenberg

A semiclosed counterflow centrifugal elutriation system that minimizes the risks of contamination and cell loss is presented. A detailed description of the configuration of the system and its sterilization and assembly is provided along with examples of its application to large-scale separation of leukapheresis buffy coat and cadaveric bone marrow. We are currently using this system to deplete lymphocytes from human bone marrow prior to use in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. The implementation of a semiclosed system increases the safety, ease of operation, and reproducibility of a technique that has the potential for a wide range of clinical applications.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects. (From Websters, 10th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D003377 Countercurrent Distribution A method of separation of two or more substances by repeated distribution between two immiscible liquid phases that move past each other in opposite directions. It is a form of liquid-liquid chromatography. (Stedman, 25th ed) Chromatography, Countercurrent,Countercurrent Chromatography,Distribution, Countercurrent
