The method comprises selecting the cell type to be separated by passing through the membrane； determining a concentration of the selected cell type in the suspension； selecting an inlet flow rate for the suspension； selecting a rotational speed for the spinning membrane separator related to one or more of the concentration and relative size of the selected cell type in the suspension； rotating the spinning membrane separator at the selected rotational speed so that the selected cell type tends to migrate to regions of the shear field adjacent the porous membrane； and flowing the suspension through the spinning membrane separator.1/3 70 DRIVE MOTOR 64 72 65 42 65 - --- 64 68 42 66 68 74 20 6640 22 r4 7 58 8 414 10 1 -56 12 52 13 24 662 Fg50 54 61 16 52 16 145 58V A 8 2 83 34834 44 79 79 76 44 76 78 78 46 46 PFig. 2 Frig
