Abstract
A blood separation device that decouples and separates the blood collection process from the plasma separation process is disclosed. The blood separation device includes a sample collection module, an activation module, and a separation module. Because the plasma separation happens after the blood separation device is disconnected from a patient, the device performance is no longer affected by patient blood pressure and needle gauge, and patient discomfort is greatly reduced.
