Yield and viability of SVF obtained by the automated process using filtration technology as compared to the manual process of cell isolation using centrifugation.
| Digestion | Filtration | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual | Automated | Manual | Automated | |
| SVF yield (×105/gram) | 0.90 ± 0.5 | 0.82 ± 0.6 | 1.15 ± 0.3 | 1.17 ± 0.5 |
| Percentage yield | 100% | 94 ± 28% | 100% | 98 ± 21% |
| Percentage viability | 96 ± 3.0% | 96 ± 2.1% | 97.3 ± 1.5% | 97.5 ± 2.8% |
Data is represented as mean ± SD for five individual samples tested. SVF Yield is represented as cell number ×105/gram of adipose tissue. Percentage yield indicates percentage recovery by automated processing relative to the yield from manual processing taken as the baseline comparator. Difference in cell yield between manual centrifugation method and automated filtration is not significant (p = 0.8, paired t-test).
