Abstract
Methods and devices for treating transition zone material are disclosed. Transition zone material is processed to form a supernatant layer which includes platelets and a sediment layer which includes red blood cells, and the supernatant layer is separated from the sediment layer by passing the supernatant layer through a porous medium. Once the supernatant layer has been separated from the sediment layer, gas may be separated from the supernatant layer.
