Abstract

An assembly for the separation by centrifugal force of biological agents from a suspension, which assembly includes (1) a first compartment including a first filtering means as a part of its surface, the first filtering means having pores capable of allowing the passage of the biological agents therethrough; and (2) a second compartment for receiving the biological agents that pass through the pores, the first compartment and the second compartment being securely attached together in such a manner that the spacial relationship among the first compartment, the second compartment, and the first filtering means remain the same throughout centrifugation of the assembly.
