| Principle: | Following the addition of Histopaque-1077 to the ACCUSPIN Tube, a brief centrifugation places the Histopaque-1077 below the frit. The blood sample can be added to the top chamber of the tube without the risk of mixing with the Histopaque-1077 in the lower chamber under the frit. On subsequent centrifugation the whole blood descends through the frit to contact with theHistopaque-1077. The elements of greater density displace a volume of Histopaque-1077 above the forgiving a clear separation of the blood components. The erythrocytes aggregate and the granulocytes become lightly hypertonic, increasing their sedimentation rate, resulting in pelleting at the bottom of the ACCUSPIN Tube. Lymphocytes and other mononuclear cells, e.g., monocytes, remain at the plasma/Histopaque-1077int |
