Abstract

An improved centrifuge rotor formed of a bowl body and core for blood processing applications, such as cell washing or pheresis, is described. A tubular core adapted to rotate with the rotor defines a processing region between the core and the interior of the bowl body. A plurality of projections extend into the processing region to minimize formation of fluid Coriolis waves which would otherwise cause undesirable turbulence.
