Summary Table of Final Cell Inoculum Obtained from Enzymatic and Mechanical Procedures*
| Processing Method (Product) | Starting Material (cc LA) | Cell Yield (× 106 cells/g dry LA) |
Tissue Weight (g dry LA) |
Final Cell Inoculum (× 106 cells) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enzymatic (SVF) | >200 | 0.68 ± 0.04 | 175.26 ± 4.43 | 120.07 ± 7.21 |
| Mechanical (NF) | 20 | 6.63 ± 0.47 | 19.26 ± 1.15 | 125.81 ± 5.86 |
LA, lipoaspirate; NF, nanofat; SVF, stromal vascular fraction.
*Starting material represents the amount of raw lipoaspirate used in each protocol. Cell yield indicates the number of recovered cells per gram of dry lipoaspirate processed, as shown in Figure 4. Tissue weight shows the grams of dry lipoaspirate per GID (SVF) and Tulip NanoTransfer (NF) protocols. Final cell inoculum represents the total number of cells obtained in each procedure. Values are represented as mean ± SEM (SVF, n = 20; NF, n = 3).
