Abstract
A skid () for use in separating biocomponents includes a housing () bounding a compartment (), the compartment being partially bounding by a mounting platform (); and a loading assembly () secured to the housing so as to communicate with the compartment. The loading assembly () includes an alignment plate () having a top surface with cavity () recessed therein, the cavity communicating with the compartment; a drive rotor () rotatably disposed below the alignment plate and at least partially encircling the cavity, the drive rotor including one or more magnets; a motor () coupled to the drive rotor for selectively rotating the drive rotor about the cavity; and a mount at least partially encircling the drive rotor and communicating with the compartment, the mount including a mounting plate having one or more mounting elements upstanding therefrom, the mount being movable between a raised position wherein the mounting plate is aligned with the alignment plate and a second lowered position wherein the mounting plate is disposed at an elevation lower than the alignment plate.
