Abstract
A centrifugal cell processing apparatus wherein a rotor assembly having a pair of containers for receiving a fluid to be processed by centrifugation is rotatably mounted on a rotor drive assembly, which is rotatably mounted on a stationary base. Liquid communication is maintained with the containers during rotation of the rotor by means of a flexible umbilical cable which extends from the containers to a location external to the apparatus by way of a passageway provided in the support shaft of the rotor assembly and a guide sleeve carried on and rotatably mounted to the rotor drive assembly. The rotor assembly is rotatably driven in the same direction as the rotor drive assembly with a speed ratio of 2:1 to prevent the umbilical cable from becoming completely twisted during operation of the apparatus. A guide sleeve may be provided on the rotor drive assembly to assist in installing the umbilical cable and to support the cable during operation.
