  • Systems and methods for concentrating cells with a syringe and a centrifuge
    Patent number: 11911553
    Abstract: A system for concentrating cells, wherein a syringe comprises a lumen and an axial end comprising a port and a radial end closed to liquid flow. A plunger divides the axial and radial ends, and the syringe is configured to hold a cellular suspension. A filter disposed at the radial end is configured to maintain sterility of the syringe. A cap comprises a vent disposed at the radial end. The plunger is configured to be actuated towards the axial end by air pressure being applied into the radial end and the plunger is configured to be actuated towards the radial end by a vacuum being applied into the radial end.
