System and process for separating a material

摘要

Disclosed is a system to separate, enrich, and/or purify a cellular population from a biological tissue, such as a tissue sample. For example, an adipose tissue sample can be acquired and disrupted. The disrupted tissue sample can then be separated and purified. The separated components can include multipotent, pluripotent, or other cell populations.

主权项

1. A system to separate a selected cell fraction from a sample volume, comprising:
a container having a first wall extending from a first bottom wall to an upper rim; a collection section positioned near the upper rim and at an exterior surface of the first wall, the collection section having a second wall extending from a second bottom wall wherein the second bottom wall is nearer the upper rim than the first bottom wall; a lid covering both the container and the collection section; wherein the lid is operable to move between an open position and a closed position to selectively close the container from the collection section.
