Background technology
Plasma exchange is described among the US4086924.With whole blood with transfer to Centrifuge Cup after anti-coagulants mixes, thereby separation of whole blood is become blood plasma and non-plasma fraction.Centrifuge Cup is the device that utilizes centrifugal principle that material is separated, its common purpose is to make the effect lower leaf of material to be separated in high speed centrifugation power, thereby reach separation, see United States Patent (USP): US4,983,158 and US4300717 number, Chinese utility model patent ZL99255623.6, it introduces the application as a reference.These three pieces of patent documents are incorporated herein by reference in full.
Figure one is a kind of schematic diagram of the Centrifuge Cup of present extensive use, and it comprises cup 1, blood/cleaning solution inlet 2, conduit 3, decelerating ring 4, cleaning solution outlet 5.Its operation principle is as follows: cup 1 runs up at the material that drives wherein down that runs up, material is in the action of centrifugal force lower leaf, cleaning solution enters the Centrifuge Cup bottom from mouthful static conduit 3 of 2 processes, the cleaning solution outside-in flows and passes outer material under action of centrifugal force, thereby reach the purpose of washing, the static decelerating ring 4 of passing through on cleaning solution continues slows down, and flows out from cleaning solution outlet 5.In Fig. 1, arrow is the route that blood and washing lotion enter separated region
Figure two is that another kind of form is centrifugal, and its basic principle is identical with the basic principle of figure one, though can realize more at an easy rate on the engineering, the effect of washing can be not fine.Space in Fig. 2 between cup 1 and the inner bag is between effective Disengagement zone.
All there is the defective of the following aspects in the Centrifuge Cup of two kinds of forms shown in figure one and the figure two:
1. minute blood cell there is certain destruction, this destruction is because of the reason of several aspects, the one, need frictionally to drive cup interior liquid acceleration or deceleration in rotation and the stopped process, and relative motion that exists between cell and the wall of cup and frictional force can cause cell impaired, in this case, the coarse more destruction in wall of cup surface is also serious more, and the 2nd, increased the touch opportunity of cell and inorganic matter, and biological ubiquitous incompatibility can cause the impaired of cell;
2. the effect of Fen Liing is undesirable, because when starting and stopping, there is relative motion between wall of cup and the blood cell, this relative motion meeting causes that the aspect between blood cell and blood plasma is disturbed in moderating process, thereby make separation destroyed fully, existing Centrifuge Cup hematocrit (ratio of blood cell and liquid in the liquid) when separating blood is up to the volume ratio about 60%, if the separation of various kinds of cell or multiple material will fundamentally miss one's aim
3. need a minimum through the blood of washing as reaching certain hematocrit (hematocrit is a blood cell and the ratio of botal blood volume), if also promptly the minimum of blood do not reach glassful, will not reach requirement through the hematocrit of the blood of washing
4. it is bigger to reach the used washing lotion amount of certain clean rate, generally reaches 1: 4, and this is that often having runner of one's own has influenced clean result because washing lotion can not be washed blood cell effectively
Since the liquid in the Centrifuge Cup can be in cup motion freely cause the unstability of system, under certain centrifugal rotational speed, centrifugation systems can produce vibration, sometimes even have a bigger destructiveness.
Therefore, need improve, to overcome at least a above-mentioned shortcoming to Centrifuge Cup of the prior art.
Therefore, one of purpose of the present invention provides a kind of improved Centrifuge Cup that overcomes above-mentioned at least a shortcoming.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of biological substance, as the separation method of blood cell and blood plasma.

Estimate the standard of Centrifuge Cup
When estimating washed blood, the standard of Centrifuge Cup part has following several:
I. minimum output blood flow volume, through the canonical form centrifugation, its glass capacity promptly is minimum output blood flow volume to existing;
Ii. the Centrifuge Cup rate of recovery, the haemocyte of recovery and flow into ratio between the haemocyte total amount;
Iii. the hematocrit of output blood;
Iv. to the destructiveness of blood cell, the destructiveness that blood cell is produced through the Centrifuge Cup effect, generally with the variation of free hemoglobin in a certain amount of blood before and after the rotation as index;
V. clean rate, after certain washing lotion amount washing, the ratio of this material total amount before the specific material that is washed is removed total amount and washed;
Vi. blood platelet retention rate, hematoblastic retention rate in the blood before and after washing;
Vii. fatty clearance, the clearance of fat in the blood before and after washing;
Viii. when the Centrifuge Cup slow-speed of revolution, can make under the effect of blood cell at gravity and assemble, can reach the purpose that improves the rate of cleaning thereby water inlet this moment can reach the purpose of more fully washing in the bottom;
Ix. the bottom is strengthened the space of storing up blood and can be made full use of the benefit that the x item brings;
X. when blood back, can be scheduled to the blood back hematocrit, such as from 40-90% can, when adopting three pumps to control into blood, blood back respectively, can utilize when advancing washing lotion and sneak into washing lotion when into lotion pumps reaches at blood back, can further improve clean rate like this.
Obviously, need fatty clearance, blood platelet retention rate, the rate of recovery in actual applications, clean rate, to clean blood pressure long-pending high more good more, destructive the smaller the better to blood cell, minimum output blood flow volume is the smaller the better.
