Abstract
A centrifuge apparatus for separating blood components includes a centrifuge tube and a flow dividing mechanism, and the flow dividing mechanism is fixed at the bottom of the centrifuge tube. Moreover, the bottom of the centrifuge tube is further provided with a discharge hole. The flow dividing mechanism includes an adjustable flow divider valve and a flow guiding channel, and the adjustable flow divider valve is configured to adjust relative positions of the flow guiding channel and the discharge hole, thereby implementing flow division of blood components at the bottom layer of the centrifuge tube. The centrifuge apparatus can be used to manufacture platelet-rich plasma in a convenient and simple way, and can improve the clinical operation efficiency. Moreover, the centrifuge apparatus may completely avoid the possibility of introducing pollution into a sample during the manufacturing, thereby improving the preciseness and stability of manufacturing the platelet-rich plasma.
