Abstract

A centrifuge partition chromatography device for separating a liquid into at least two phases, comprising at least one flat ring (3a) that can be rotationally driven around its axis, disposed in a substantially vertical position. Said ring (3a) comprises a plurality of cells (7) whose dimensions are greater in a first direction than the dimensions in a second direction which is substantially perpendicular to the first, disposed side by side and distributed along the periphery of said ring (3a) in addition to being connected to each other in a series by inlet and outlet ducts (15) terminating in the opposite respective ends of each cells (7) enabling the circulation of liquid. The invention is characterized in that said ducts (15) are disposed in such a way that the liquid supply jet penetrates the cells (7) in a direction that includes at least one radial component relative to the axis of rotation of said ring (3a).
