Abstract: A highly safe procedure for the preparation of purified stem cell fractions of lipid origin is herein described, in which the use of a specially designed single collecting device, reduces the number of passages and manipulations undergone by stem cell-containing material, reducing to a minimum the risks of contamination, material loss, and inadvertent exchange of samples, and further simplifying the interface and cooperation between personnel recovering the raw material and those expert in stem cell isolation.

Abstract: A system for extraction of cells from a sample of tissue comprises a main device (1) and a disposable kit (4) for use with said main device; said main device (1) is configured to host at least one disposable kit and to execute at least one preset program; said disposable kit (4) comprises a work chamber (11) for the sample of tissue and a plurality of solution bags (12), the disposable kit comprises also fluid transfer means (14, 19) operating between the work chamber and the solution bags (12) and controlled by the main device via suitable interface means; in a preferred embodiment the disposable kit (4) is mounted on a drum and contained in an active capsule carried by a rotary carousel; claims are also directed to the disposable kit for use in said system.
