An apparatus and method for transferring a centrifugally separated component in a liquid contained in a flexible bag is disclosed. The apparatus is composed of a centrifugal container for accommodating flexible blood collecting bag filled with blood, and a pushing mechanism for pushing the blood collecting bag. The pushing mechanism is composed of an expandable and contractible cuff disposed between an inner surface of the centrifugal container and an outer surface of the blood collecting bag, and an air supplying section for supplying a working fluid (e.g., air) into the cuff to expand it. The air supplying section is composed of an air feeding tube communicating with the cuff, an air supply source, an air feeding tube connected to the air supply source, a pair of male and female connectors, and open and close valve. According to the apparatus and method, the yield for collecting the separated component obtained by centrifugal separation can be increased, and the time required for collection can be decreased.
