A PRP separator-concentrator comprising a housing, a separation assembly, and a concentration assembly. The concentration assembly has a concentration sump. An axially concentric rigid stationary outlet tube is secured to the housing and extends through the separation assembly to the sump. The separation assembly is attached to and positioned above the concentration assembly to form a combined separator-concentrator assemblage that is rotatable about the outlet tube. The separation assembly includes a separation chamber lined with a depth filter having pores and passageways that are sized to receive and entrap erythrocytes during centrifuging. The concentration chamber has a floor for supporting desiccated beads and a wall with at least one opening closed with a screen. The concentrator can have a distribution of upright screen supports, the upright screen supports having an inner surface and an outer surface, the cylindrical screen being supported on the outer surface of the upright screen supports. A stationary bead rake can be secured to the stationary tube and extend outward therefrom, the rake having distal ends that are spaced at a distance from the upright screen supports. The rake can comprise a longitudinal body, the center of which is secured to the rigid outlet tube. The separator-concentrator includes a valve assembly connecting the separation chamber and the concentration chamber. PRP concentrate is produced by contacting PRP with desiccated beads while the beads are stirred with a stationary rake, and rotating the concentration chamber at centrifugal speeds to separate PRP concentrate from the beads.

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for preparing platelet-rich plasma concentrate, comprising: capturing erythrocytes from a portion of a patient blood by rotating the patient blood at centrifugal speeds in a balanced cylindrical separation chamber that is lined with a depth filter, the separation chamber and depth filter being segmented by radially extending plates into separation zones, the plates maintaining substantially balanced distribution of the patient blood in the separation zones during rotation of the separation chamber, thereby reducing vibration and erythrocyte displacement from the depth filter; moving a portion of the patient blood, including the platelet-rich plasma, through a valve from the cylindrical separation chamber to a concentrating chamber; rotating the concentrating chamber with desiccated beads to produce platelet-rich plasma concentrate while the beads are stirred with a stationary rake. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the rotational speed of the separation chamber is accelerated to centrifugal speeds at a rate that allows balanced distribution of the patient blood in the separation zones, and after the centrifuging is complete, the rotation speed of the separation chamber is decelerated to below centrifugal speeds at a rate that allows balanced distribution of the platelet-rich plasma in the separation zones, thereby reducing vibration and erythrocyte displacement from the depth filter. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein platelet-rich plasma concentrate is collected by rotating the concentrating chamber at centrifugal speeds to separate platelet-rich plasma concentrate from the beads. 4. A method for preparing platelet-rich plasma concentrate, comprising: preparing platelet-rich plasma from patient blood by capturing patient blood erythrocytes in a depth filter in a separation chamber with radial plates, moving the platelet-rich plasma from the separation chamber by opening a valve assembly to allow the platelet-rich plasma to move to a concentrating chamber; producing platelet-rich plasma concentrate by contacting the platelet-rich plasma with desiccated beads by rotating the concentrating chamber while the platelet-rich plasma and the desiccated beads are stirred with a stationary rake. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein platelet-rich plasma concentrate is collected by rotating the concentrating chamber at centrifugal speeds to separate platelet-rich plasma concentrate from the beads. 6. A method for separating components of a multi-component composition comprising: loading the multi-component composition into a rotatably mounted bucket of a separation assembly, the bucket has a basket subassembly fixedly mounted thereto such that the basket subassembly rotates with the bucket, a passageway extends between the bucket and the basket subassembly, the passageway includes a valve operable to open and close the passageway in response to centrifugal force, the valve is in a closed position when the multi-component composition is loaded; rotating the bucket and the basket subassembly such that a first component of the multi-component composition having a first density migrates into and becomes trapped within a porous structure proximate to a cylindrical sidewall of the bucket, the rotation causes the valve to open the passageway in response to centrifugal force; evenly distributing the multicomponent composition within the basket with separation plates evenly spaced throughout the basket while rotating the bucket and the basket subassembly; slowing and ceasing rotation of the bucket and the basket subassembly to permit a second component of the multi-component composition to flow to a bottom surface of the bucket and through the passageway to the basket subassembly where the second component contacts desiccating beads, the first component remains trapped in the porous structure; mixing the second component with the desiccating beads by rotating the basket subassembly about a mixing device to increase the concentration of the second component, the mixing is continued until the second component reaches a desired concentration; separating the second component having an increased concentration from the desiccating beads by rotating the basket subassembly such that the second component and the desiccating beads are forced against a screen at an outer periphery of the basket subassembly in response to centrifugal forces, openings in the screen are sized to permit passage of the second component to a sump and restrict passage of the desiccating beads; and withdrawing the concentrated second component from the separation assembly. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising loading blood into the bucket as the multi-component composition, the first composition includes erythrocytes and the second component includes platelet rich plasma. 8. The method of claim 6, further comprising mixing the second component with hydrogel beads. 9. The method of claim 6, further comprising separating the first component from the second component by rotating the bucket at a speed of about 3,200 rpm for about 90 seconds. 10. The method of claim 6, further comprising concentrating the second component by mixing the second component with the beads at a speed of about 50 rpm for about 45 seconds. 11. The method of claim 6, further comprising separating the second component from the beads by rotating the basket subassembly at a speed of about 3,200 rpm for about 45 seconds. 12. A method for separating concentrated platelet rich plasma from blood comprising: loading the blood into a rotatably mounted separation chamber of a separation device; rotating the separation chamber at a first speed to separate erythrocytes from platelet rich plasma and capture the erythrocytes in a depth filter, and to open a valve in an opening between the separation chamber and a concentration chamber attached thereto in response to centrifugal force to permit flow of the platelet rich plasma through the opening and into the concentration chamber filled with desiccating beads; maintaining a substantially balanced distribution of the blood in the separation chamber with radially extending plates evenly spaced about the separation chamber; rotating the concentration chamber at a second speed slower than the first speed to mix the platelet rich plasma with the desiccating beads to increase the concentration of the platelet rich plasma; rotating the concentration chamber at a third speed that is faster than the second speed to separate the concentrated platelet rich plasma from the desiccating beads by forcing the concentrated platelet rich plasma through openings in a screen at a periphery of the concentration chamber and into a sump exterior to the concentration chamber, the openings are sized to generally prevent passage of the desiccating beads; and withdrawing the concentrated platelet rich plasma from the sump and from the separation device. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising mixing the platelet rich plasma and the desiccating beads in the concentration chamber with a rake. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising loading 150cc of blood into the separation chamber and processing the blood using the separation device to recover about 23 cc of concentrated platelet rich plasma having a 3 fold increase in platelet count over whole blood. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising withdrawing the concentrated platelet rich plasma through a port that extends along an axial center of the separation device. 16. The method of claim 12, further comprising capturing the erythrocytes in a depth filter that includes foam. 17. The method of claim 6, wherein mixing the second component with the desiccating beads by rotating the basket subassembly about a mixing device includes rotating the basket subassembly with the desiccating beads to produce a second component of the multi-component composition concentrate while the desiccating beads and the second component of the multi-component composition are stirred with a stationary rake. 18. The method of claim 13, wherein mixing the platelet rich plasma and the desiccating beads in the concentration chamber with a rake includes rotating the concentration chamber around the rake that remains stationary to mix the platelet rich plasma with the desiccating beads. 19. The method of claim 12, wherein the valve includes two opposed centrifugal valve arms secured to a valve tube above a valve face, each centrifugal valve arm has a flexible portion adjacent the valve tube and a rigid arm portion; wherein rotating the separation chamber at a first speed to open a valve in an opening between the separation chamber and a concentration chamber attached thereto in response to centrifugal force to permit flow of the platelet rich plasma through the opening and into the concentration chamber filled with desiccating beads includes, moving the centrifugal valve arms outward until they contact a sloped floor of the separation chamber; and sliding the valve tube upward to pull the valve face from the opening and out of contact with a valve seat in the opening to open a passageway from the separation chamber to the concentration chamber.
