Descriptor citaféresis
Scope note: Separación de uno o más tipos de células de la sangre total con el retorno de los otros constituyentes celulares de la sangre al paciente o donante. Se realiza con un instrumento que utiliza la centrifugación para separar las células en diferentes capas atendiendo a las diferencias de densidad de las células (desplazamiento) o coeficientes de sedimentación en una corriente (elutriación). El procedimiento es comúnmente utilizado en la transferencia adoptiva para aislar células NK, linfocitos, o monocitos.

Scope note: Separation of one or more kinds of cells from whole blood with the return of other blood cell constituents to the patient or donor. This is accomplished with an instrument that uses centrifugation to separate the cells into different layers based on the differences in cell density (displacement) or drag coefficients in a current (elutriation). The procedure is commonly used in adoptive transfer to isolate NK cells, lymphocytes, or monocytes.
