Abstract
A method for washing a suspension of cells including a suspension fluid and a plurality of cells is provided. The method includes using centripetal force to generate a layer of wash solution against a cylindrical wall and to generate a cell suspension layer adjacent to the layer of wash solution. The method also includes forcing the cells through the layer of wash solution to generate a layer of clean cells. Devices for performing the method are also provided.
