Embodiment 1
[0047] Such as figure 1 As shown, in a first embodiment of the invention, the means 6 of a centrifuge container in the form of a centrifuge tube consists of a flat disc 7 that fits tightly to the inner wall of the tube divider and another disc 8 and attached to the disc 8 The full vertical divider 11 of the disc 7 and 8 constitutes the device divider. In this embodiment of the invention, the device is placed within a centrifuge container 1, which is a 0.23 inch diameter centrifuge tube. In this embodiment, the device 6 is made of plastic, but it could also be made of other materials. Such as Figure 12 As shown, the device 6 can be placed in another container which can be fitted to the centrifuge container 1 , in which case the device is outside the centrifuge container 1 .
[0048] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the centrifuge container 1 is at the same time the guide 12 and the wall of the centrifuge container becomes thicker, the inner diameter of the centrifuge c...
Embodiment 2
[0058] Figure 13 and 13a Another embodiment of the invention is shown in which the device 6 has a partition 7 which does not have an upper chamber but allows connection down to a container with a separation medium or liquid (e.g. , test tubes, sachets, bags) form the upper divider. Subsequently, the divider is fitted with a guide 12 in the form of an elongated cylinder attached to the divider 7 and located at a distance from the hole 4 . This allows fluid to flow from the upper chamber 16 through the tubes and then along the guides to the lower chamber 3 through holes in the partition. In this embodiment, an elongated cylinder forms the guide 12 and is of such a length that the test material spreads smoothly over the surface of the centrifugation medium used in the gradient separation method without causing significant disturbance to the separation medium.
Embodiment 3
[0060] Figure 14 and 14a Another embodiment of the invention is shown in which the insert 6 has a spacer 7 fitted with guides 12 in the form of eight elongated rollers anchored to the spacer 7 and located at a distance from the hole 4 at such a distance, this allows liquid to flow from the upper chamber to the lower chamber 3 along the guides through the holes in the partition. In this embodiment, the length of the guide 12 of the elongated roller is such that the test material spreads smoothly over the surface of the centrifugation medium used in the gradient separation method and it does not cause significant disturbance to the separation medium.
