Centrifuge processing device and method

A centrifuge processing apparatus comprising:

• a central housing, said central housing having a housing opening communicating with a housing interior cavity, said housing interior cavity defined by a housing sidewall of said central housing extending to a housing endwall;
• said housing sidewall and said housing endwall both being formed of solid material;
• a housing flange engaged to said housing sidewall at a position surrounding said housing opening;
• a basket, said basket having a basket opening communicating with a basket interior cavity, said basket interior cavity defined by a basket sidewall which extends to a basket endwall;
• said basket sidewall having openings communicating therethrough, said openings being substantially equal in size;
• a basket flange engaged to said basket sidewall at a position surrounding said basket opening;
• said central housing positionable within said basket interior cavity in a coaxial alignment therewith to form a processing assembly;
• said processing assembly having a first gap area formed between said housing sidewall and said basket sidewall, said first gap for holding material being processed therein;
• said processing assembly insertable into a container cavity of a housing container, said container cavity defined by a housing container sidewall, said housing container configured for insertion into a centrifuge;
• positioning of said processing assembly within said container cavity forming a second gap between said basket sidewall and said housing container sidewall;
• and
• said second gap defining a reservoir for processed material which communicates through said openings during operation of said centrifuge, whereby said processed material is separable from said material to be processed.
