Abstract
Many studies in the early twentieth century involved attempts to separate white blood cells from whole blood for further examination and experimentation as well as for the treatment of neutropenic patients. In the 1950s, the need to use blood and its derivatives efficiently produced the first apparatus to separate blood continuously in a closed system. The prototypes of presentβday continuous flow blood cell separators were developed in the 1960s.

## Abstract In 1926, a physicist at Harvard named William T. Bovie created an instrument, which revolutionized the medical professionβthe unipolar electrocautery device. This incredible device could make surgical incisions and provide hemostasis as well. It came with a price, however, as it also cr
The face of automated hemapheresis in the United States is changing. No longer is it appropriate to view hemapheresis primarily in terms of therapeutic plasma exchange. For many centers, the bulk of day-to-day activities revolves around donor cytapheresis to satisfy the ever-increasing need for unit
