    Abstract: Blood processing systems and methods establish on-line communication between a container and a source of blood containing leukocytes and platelets, such as a human donor. The systems and methods create a centrifugal field (14) between the source of blood and the container that separates from the blood an unfinished suspension of platelets having a first physiologic characteristic different than the desired physiologic characteristic. The systems and methods pump the unfinished platelet suspension outside the centrifugal field through a finishing device (24). The finishing device (24) changes the first physiologic characteristic to the desired physiological characteristic, thereby creating the finished platelet suspension. The system and methods convey the finished platelet suspension from the finishing device directly into the container. The systems and methods function without interrupting the on-line communication between the container and the source of blood.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for collecting blood samples in vacuum sample tubes are disclosed. The samples, including the initial blood sample, are substantially free of excess air. Disclosed is also a biological fluid sampling system (18) comprising: a plastic container (42) including an interior chamber (54); a sample access site (68) external to and spaced from said container by y preselected distance; an internal flow path (43) communicating with said access site and extending substantially into said interior chamber, said internal flow path providing the only path for blood flow into and from said chamber.
