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 () which can be rotated about its axis (X'X) of symmetry and comprises a multitude of cells () through which the liquid is intended to flow, each cell being provided with two input/output channels (and) that are intended to make the liquid flow from one cell to another and which open respectively via two inlet/outlet orifices (and) of the cell on two radially internal and external sides (and) of the latter with respect to the axis of rotation. According to the invention, this device is such that, for at least some of this multitude of cells, these orifices opening into one and the same cell are placed on the same side of a radial line (D) of the ring passing through the axis and through the center of gravity (G) of the cell, seen in radial cross section.
