Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for placing immiscible fluid phases in contact with each other by means of centrifugal force, in particular in order to extract compounds from one of said phases by another phase. Said device comprises at least one contacting unit (3*) which is capable of being rotated about an axis (X?X) and which includes a plurality of cells (210, A, D) intended to be passed through consecutively by said phases, in a given flow direction, each cell being provided with two inlet/outlet channels (214 and 215) which fluidly connect the cells together in pairs and which lead into each cell, respectively, via two inlet/outlet openings, which are proximal (214a) and distal (215a) relative to the said axis, respectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a centrifugal partitioning chromatography device for separating a liquid having at least two phases, and to a centrifugal partitioning chromatography method implemented by this device. A chromatography device according to the invention comprises at least one flat ring (103) which can be rotated about its axis (X?X) of symmetry and comprises a multitude of cells (110) through which the liquid is intended to flow, each cell being provided with two input/output channels (111 and 112) that are intended to make the liquid flow from one cell to another and which open respectively via two inlet/outlet orifices (111a and 112a) of the cell on two radially internal and external sides (113 and 114) of the latter with respect to the axis of rotation.
