Comparison of cost and time between purification methods

Method Cost (€) Time (min)
Handpicking 46 382 ± 30
Filtration 69 15 ± 1*
Histopaque 77 128 ± 6

Excluding mice and salary costs. Time represents only the purification step of the isolation procedure, excluding the handpicking for counting. The data showed for time are the mean ± SEM of N = 3 isolations
