1. A method for selectively dispensing fluid components employing a bypass, the bypass having a fluid passage with an inlet, a first outlet for fluid communication with a first collecting container, and a second outlet for fluid communication with a second collecting container, the method comprising the steps of:

  • providing the fluid components to be dispensed, wherein one of the fluid components is isolated from the other fluid components;

    blocking the first outlet of the bypass; and

    dispensing the isolated fluid component through the second outlet and into the second collecting container,wherein the step of blocking the first outlet of the bypass comprises inserting a tubing line into the second outlet and past the first outlet such that the tubing line obstructs the first outlet and prevents the isolated fluid component from flowing from the inlet to the first outlet.
