Abstract
The present invention relates to improved methods for processing fluids and to a fluid processing device () for use in a centrifuge comprising: (a) a first holder () form-fit to the shape of a first tube () for holding said first tube () whereby said first tube () has a first cross section (A); and (b) a second holder () form-fit to the shape of a second tube () for holding said second tube () whereby said second tube () has a second cross section (A) that is different from said first cross section (A). With the fluid processing devices and the methods according to the invention, it is possible to simplify the centrifugal processing steps for a given fluid processing sequence and to automate them.
