Centrifuge apparatus with flying leads

Centrifuge apparatus, said apparatus comprising an inlet for supply of one or more liquids to pass through the apparatus, at least one pump, and a plurality of modules, each of said modules including:

• a flying lead assembly, a body in which said flying lead assembly is located and a housing, said at least one pump provided to allow the one or more liquids to be pumped into and through the said plurality of flying lead assemblies and from which separated components of the said liquid are collected via one or more outlets, said body rotatable with respect to the housing so as to allow separation of the said components, the provision of said modules allow the adaptation of the processing capacity of the apparatus by the selective interconnection of a number of said modules, a support structure wherein said modules are located in, a plurality of motors provided in the support structure, each said motor connected to rotate the body of a respective module, control means provided for independent control of said modules to allow the plurality of motors and plurality of modules to be independently operable to separate components from an input liquid pumped to the same;
• and said plurality of modules are selectively provided with the same input liquid or different input liquids to respective modules or the control means operate the motors and modules to operate simultaneously and in combination to separate components from the same input liquid.
