An apparatus that allows for separating and collecting a fraction of a sample. The apparatus, when used with a centrifuge, allows for the creation of at least three fractions in the apparatus. It also provides for a new method of extracting the buffy coat phase from a whole blood sample. A buoy system that may include a first buoy portion and a second buoy member operably interconnected may be used to form at least three fractions from a sample during a substantially single centrifugation process. Therefore, the separation of various fractions may be substantially quick and efficient.

1. A method of isolating a fraction comprising nucleated cells, comprising: obtaining a volume of whole blood from a patient through venipuncture;obtaining a volume of bone marrow aspirate from the patient;loading the volume of whole blood and the volume of bone marrow aspirate into a container configured to be placed in a centrifuge, the container comprising a buoy having a selected density operable to physically separate a plurality of fractions of whole blood based on the density of the fractions, the fractions including the fraction comprising nucleated cells;centrifuging the container, so as to create the fraction comprising nucleated cells; andcollecting the fraction comprising the nucleated cells. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the fraction comprising nucleated cells comprises cells selected from the group consisting of platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and mixtures thereof. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the centrifuging creates at least three distinct fractions comprising a red blood cell fraction, a buffy coat fraction, and a plasma fraction. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the buoy is configured to have a density less than the density of red blood cells and a density greater than the density of the fraction comprising nucleated cells. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the container further comprises an extraction port, and the collecting of the fraction comprising nucleated cells comprises affixing a syringe to the extraction port and drawing the fraction comprising nucleated cells into the syringe. 6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising administering the fraction comprising nucleated cells to the patient. 7. A method of isolating a fraction comprising nucleated cells from a multi-component fluid comprising nucleated cells, comprising: obtaining a volume of whole blood from a patient through venipuncture;obtaining a volume of bone marrow aspirate from the patient;loading the volume of whole blood and the volume of bone marrow aspirate into a container of a separator configured to be placed in a centrifuge, the volume of whole blood and the volume of bone marrow combining to form a multi-component fluid;centrifuging the separator to separate the multi-component fluid into at east three fractions, the fractions including the fraction comprising nucleated cells; andcollecting the fraction comprising nucleated cells. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the three fractions are a fraction comprising red blood cells, a fraction comprising buffy coat, and a fraction comprising plasma. 9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the fraction comprising nucleated cells comprises cells selected from the group consisting of platelets, white blood cells, stem cells, and mixtures thereof. 10. The method according to claim 8, wherein the separator comprises a buoy and a piston. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the buoy is configured to have a density less than the density of red blood cells. 12. The method according to claim 11, wherein the buoy is configured to provide for isolation of the buffy coat and undifferentiated bone marrow cells. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the buoy is configured to have a density greater than the density of the fraction comprising nucleated cells. 14. The method according to claim 7, further comprising administering the fraction comprising nucleated cells to a patient. 15. A method of treating a patient with a biological material comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells, comprising: obtaining a volume of whole blood from the patient through venipuncture;obtaining a volume of bone marrow aspirate from the patient;loading the volume of whole blood and the volume of bone marrow aspirate into a container of a separator configured to be placed in a centrifuge, the volume of whole blood and the volume of bone marrow aspirate combining to form a multi-component fluid, the separator being operable to separate the multi-component fluid into at least three fractions, the fractions including a fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells, wherein the separator comprises a buoy with a density less than the density of a fraction of red blood cells;centrifuging the separator;collecting the biological material comprising the fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells, wherein the fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells further comprises a blood component selected from the group consisting of platelets, white blood cells, and mixtures thereof; andadministering the fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells to the patient. 16. The method according to claim 15, wherein centrifuging the container separates the mixture of bone marrow aspirate and whole blood into three fractions based on density, wherein said fractions, in decreasing order of density, comprise: i. a fraction rich in blood cells;ii. a buffy coat fraction;iii. a plasma fraction; andthe collecting comprises isolating the buffy coat fraction alone or in combination with all or part of the plasma fraction to form the biological material. 17. The method according to claim 15, wherein the separator further comprises a piston. 18. The method according to claim 15, wherein the separator further comprises an extraction port; and the collecting of the fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells comprises affixing a syringe to the extraction port and drawing the fraction comprising undifferentiated nucleated cells into the syringe. 19. A method for obtaining a biological material comprising a bone marrow fraction, comprising: a. centrifuging a biological sample comprising bone marrow aspirate obtained from a patient and whole blood obtained from the patient through venipuncture to provide a separation of components of the sample based on density, said separation providing the following fractions in decreasing order of density: i. a fraction rich in blood cells;ii. a buffy coat fraction;iii. a plasma fraction; andb. isolating the huffy coat fraction alone or in combination with all or part of the plasma fraction to form the biological material. 20.
