ABSTRACT:
A method for processing blood in an apheresis system is disclosed. The present invention includes selecting a packing factor for separated blood component types in the separation stage(s) of a blood processing vessel. A packing factor is a number that reflects the degree with which the blood component types are packed together in the separation stage(s) and is dependent at least upon the rotational speed and the flow rate into the blood processing vessel. The method further includes providing an apheresis system and operating it under conditions to separate the blood into a plurality of blood component types and achieve the selected packing factor.
