Zusammenfassung:A portable centrifuge comprising a base, which includes a rotational mechanism contained within. A sequester wheel having a plurality of concentric rings, forming at least one channel and a central container. The at least one channel comprising a second volume and the central container comprising a first volume. A first cover is disposed over the sequester wheel to create a seal. A second cover is disposed over the first cover and is rotatable to engage with the rotational mechanism to initiate rotation at a predetermined RPM. The whole blood is separated into its constituent components and deposited into the at least one channel and the central container. Specific volumes of the constituent components may be calculated to match or substantially match the first and second volumes for predetermined volume control and ease of access.
