Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03028844A1] The present invention relates generally to a fractionator 100 for collecting at least one of a plurality of segregated components from a segregated sample disposed in a sample tube 200. The fractionator 100 has a head 100 with a head surface 115 at its forward end. The head 110 may be configured to form a slideable seal with the inside surface of the sample tube 200. A collection port 130 is disposed forward of the head surface 115, and a fluid passageway 135 is in fluid communication with the collection port 130 and is configured and arranged to allow fluid transport from the sample tube 200 to a sample receptacle 230. The fractionator 100 may have a valve 330 in fluid communication with the collection port 130 and may have a valve controller 350 configured and arranged to operate the valve 330 based on the location of the collection port 130 with respect to a sample in the tube 200.

[origin: WO03028844A1] The present invention relates generally to a fractionator (100) for collecting at least one of a plurality of segregated components from a segregated sample disposed in a sample tube (200). The fractionator (100) has a head (100) with a head surface (115) at its forward end. The head (110) may be configured to form a slideable seal with the inside surface of the sample tube (200). A collection port (130) is disposed forward of the head surface (115), and a fluid passageway (135) is in fluid communication with the collection port (130) and is configured and arranged to allow fluid transport from the sample tube (200) to a sample receptacle (230). The fractionator (100) may have a valve (330) in fluid communication with the collection port (130) and may have a valve controller (350) configured and arranged to operate the valve (330) based on the location of the collection port (130) with respect to a sample in the tube (200).
