Abstract
This invention relates to apparatus for carrying out continuous or batch centrifugation solid-liquid separation processes in which the solid-liquid mixture is subjected to magnetic field gradients and centrifugation.
Claims27
An apparatus for the centrifugal separation of a solid-liquid mixture containing magnetic particles, comprising (a) a rotating container within which centrifugation occurs, (b) a magnetic matrix that rotates within the container, and (c) a source external to the container providing a magnetic field.
An apparatus for the centrifugal separation of a solid-liquid mixture containing magnetic particles, comprising (a) a container within which centrifugation occurs that has an axis and a wall;
- (b) magnetic matrix that rotates within the container and attracts magnetic particles;
- and (c) circumferential opening in the wall through which magnetic particles are passed from the magnetic matrix.
