The invention relates to a method for determining clotting time of a sample fluid containing blood constituents, by means of a resonator, the oscillation parameters thereof being measured. Said resonator has an at least partially adhesive surface (10) which is in contact with the sample fluid (12). The invention is characterised in that the surface (10) is pre-incubated with a preincubation liquid (14) containing the blood constituents, thus forming anchoring points on the adhesive areas of the surface (10).

The invention relates to a cartridge (1) for accommodating blood bags (35), which is provided for the separation of blood components for the application in a centrifuge. The cartridge (1) has a partition wall (3) which separates a blood bag section (5) positioned radially inside from a product section (7) positioned radially outside, and a cover (9) disposed in a mounting position above the blood bag section (5). The cover (9) is connected to the partition wall (3) pivotally in a first point (11) and detachably in a second point (13), so that the blood bag section (5) is freely accessible by means of laterally pivoting the cover (9) out of the way. The cartridge is applicable in the rotor of a centrifuge.
