Apparatus and methods for cell isolation

摘要

A unitary apparatus for isolating cells from adipose tissue including a lipid separation processor with a dispersing head equipped with a plurality of ports and a digestion chamber for dissociation of the constituent cells disposed in adipose tissue. The lipid separating apparatus is useful for the separation of lipids and adipocytes from a mixed cell population. A cell seeding chamber may be attached to the cell isolation apparatus. The components of the apparatus may be packaged in modular kit form.

主权项

1. An apparatus for treating lipoaspirate obtained from adipose tissue, from which to recover a reparative cell population, the apparatus comprising a filtration system for preliminary separation of reparative cells from other components of the lipoaspirate, and a phase separator for isolation of the reparative cells obtained by said preliminary separation from remaining said other components of different liquid phase from that of the reparative cells obtained by said preliminary separation, without centrifugation.
