Archimede is an automatic extractor of blood components from whole blood. It allows to separate erythrocytes, buffy coat, and platelets from rich and poor plasma and platelet concentrate. Both standard and top & bottom bags can be used and, thanks to the high automatization one single operator can use several units at the same time. The laboratory productivity is therefore increased maintaining a high and standardized separation quality. The separation procedure is continuously checked by a dedicated microcontroller. In case of alarm or if the preset parameter values are reached, the procedure is stopped.
