ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing biological fluids, such as blood, by centrifugal separation, is described in which no rotary seals are required for introduction of fluids to a centrifuge bowl. Instead, rotary motion from a drive motor is coupled by a coupling means to a driven member extending from an enclosed centrifuge bowl. The coupling means comprises a non-rotational member which translates, or orbits, about the bowl axis. A flexible boot, extending from the coupling means, seals the opening in the enclosure through which the driven member is driven.
