Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to a method for the continuous separation of red blood cells from whole blood which includes the steps of removing the whole blood from a donor, continuously separating the whole blood into blood component layers within a separation vessel including at least a plasma layer, a buffy coat layer and a red blood cell layer, removing the plasma layer from the separation vessel, removing the buffy coat layer from the separation vessel, and removing red blood cells from the red blood cell layer which partially overlaps with the buffy coat layer to create a mononuclear cell (MNC)-reduced red blood cell layer in the separation vessel.
