Medical containers for use in blood collection and processing and medical systems, methods and apparatus for use in blood collection and processing are described. An example medical container to be used during blood collection and processing, the medical container includes an elongated body defining a compartment and a base coupled at a first end of the elongated body. Additionally, the medical container includes a divider extending through the compartment to separate the compartment into a first subcompartment and a second subcompartment, the divider comprising a first material and the elongated body comprising a second material, the first material being relatively more rigid than the second material, the first subcompartment and the subsecond compartment each to accommodate blood pack components.

The medical container of claim 1, wherein the divider is coupled to the base to increase the structural rigidity of the medical container. 3. The medical container of claim 2, wherein a portion of the elongated body is sufficiently deformable to be deformed toward the divider during a blood processing procedure. 4. The medical container of claim 1 configured for receipt within a centrifuge receptacle during blood processing, the medical container having a shape that is complementary to a shape of the centrifuge receptacle. 5. The medical container of claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a fixture to enable the medical container to be secured to another apparatus. 6. The medical container of claim 5, wherein the fixture comprises a slot to receive an L-shaped lock of the apparatus. 7. The medical container of claim 5, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one of a blood collection apparatus, or a plasma expressor used during blood processing. 8. The medical container of claim 1, further comprising a lid removably coupled at a second end of the elongated body, the lid to substantially prevent contaminants from entering the compartment. 9. The medical container of claim 8, wherein the lid comprises at least one of an aluminum lidding foil or plastic. 10. The medical container of claim 8, wherein the lid comprises a tab to facilitate removing the lid from the elongated body. 11. The medical container of claim 1, wherein the elongated body comprises one or more removable tabs to facilitate balancing the medical container with another medical container prior to centrifugation. 12. The medical container of claim 1, wherein the second material comprises at least one of a foil based material or a plastic material. 13. The medical container of claim 1, further comprising one or more straps coupled adjacent to a second end of the elongated body. 14. The medical container of claim 13, wherein the one or more straps are to secure the blood pack components within the first and second compartments. 15. The medical container of claim 13, wherein the one or more straps are to facilitate handling the medical container. 16. The medical container of claim 1, wherein the elongated body comprises a tearable portion to enable removal of one or more of the blood pack components from the second compartment. 17. The medical container of claim 1, wherein the elongated body comprises a transparent portion to enable a fluid level within the primary collection bag of the blood pack components to be identified. 18. The medical container of claim 1, further comprising a processing label to be affixed to the medical container in a location being exempt from regulatory requirements, the processing label comprising a machine readable portion and a human readable portion. 19. The medical container of claim 18, the machine readable portion to be scanned by a plasma expressor to facilitate printing other processing labels to be affixed to one or more transfer bags of the blood pack components after blood component separation, the other processing labels complying with regulatory requirements. 20. The medical container of claim 18, the machine readable portion to be scanned by a scanner of a triage system to facilitate triaging the medical container based on a priority level. 21. The medical container of claim 18, wherein the processing label is printed by at least one of a blood collection apparatus and a plasma expressor during the blood collection and processing. 22. The medical container of claim 1, further comprising a processing label to be affixed to the medical container in a location complying with regulatory requirements. 23. A medical container comprising: an elongated body defining a compartment;a base coupled at a first end of the elongated body;a divider extending through the compartment to separate the compartment into a first subcompartment and a second subcompartment, the divider comprising a first material and the elongated body comprising a second material, the first material being generally rigid and the second material being generally flexible, and the first subcompartment and the second subcompartment each being configured to accommodate blood pack components; andblood pack components comprising a primary blood collection container and one or more of a needle, one or more transfer bags, a leukocyte filter, or a container containing a preservative solution, wherein one or more of the blood pack components are fluidly coupled together, with the primary blood collection container being at least partially positioned in the first subcompartment and said one or more of the needle, the one or more transfer bags, the leukocyte filter, or the container containing the preservative solution being positioned in the second subcompartment. 24. The medical container of claim 23, wherein the divider is coupled to the base to increase the structural rigidity of the medical container. 25. The medical container of claim 24, wherein a portion of the elongated body is sufficiently deformable to be deformed toward the divider during a blood processing procedure. 26. The medical container of claim 23 configured for receipt within a centrifuge receptacle during blood processing, the medical container having a shape that is complementary to a shape of the centrifuge receptacle. 27. The medical container of claim 23, wherein the base further comprises a fixture to enable the medical container to be secured to another apparatus. 28. The medical container of claim 27, wherein the fixture comprises a slot to receive an L-shaped lock of the apparatus. 29.
