Mechanical isolation of stromal vascular fraction using a spiral-based device: cellular outcomes and point-of-care workflow considerations

Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue represents a promising source of regenerative cells. A major trend in SVF isolation is the increasing use of dedicated devices and systems to enhance standardization and reproducibility. Real-world implementation of new technologies requires consideration of workflow-related factors alongside biological results. This study primarily aimed to characterize the novel BMC Uniq® SVF device, describe a mechanical isolation approach (MI-SVF) with this device, and evaluate the cellular outcomes of MI-SVF. Enzymatic isolation (EI-SVF) was included as a reference method for comparison of selected cellular parameters.
