The effect of recycle on the continuous centrifugal processing of blood cells.
Recycle configurations are presented for continuous-flow blood cell separation systems. A sample design calculation is presented for a single-stage unit with recycle. Increases in blood-cell collection efficiencies may be obtained with recycle, and various design configurations are proposed.
