Deriving autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adipose tissues without using enzymes requires sophisticated biomedical instruments. Applied pressure on tissues and cells are adjusted manually although centrifugation and filtration systems are frequently used. The number of derived MSCs therefore could differ between instruments. We compared the number of MSCs obtained from four commercially available devices and our newly designed and produced instrument (A2, B3, L3, M2 and T3). Three-hundred mL of adipose tissue was obtained from a female patient undergoing liposuction using the transillumination solution. Obtained tissue was equally distributed to each device and handled according to the producers' guides. After handling, 3 mL stromal vascular fraction (SVF) was obtained from each device. Freshly isolated SVF was characterized using multi-color flow cytometry (Navios Flow Cytometer, Beckman Coulter, USA). Cell surface antigens were chosen according to IFATS and ISCT. CD31-FITC, CD34-PC5,5, CD73-PE, CD90-PB and CD45-A750 (Backman Coulter, USA) fluorochrome-labeled monoclonal antibodies were assessed. Markers were combined with ViaKrome (Beckman Coulter, USA) to determine cell viability. At least 105 cells were acquired from each sample. A software (Navios EX, Beckman Coulter, USA) was used to create dot plots and to calculate the cell composition percentages. The data was analyzed in the Kaluza 2.1 software package (Beckman Coulter, USA). Graphs were prepared in GraphPad Prism. CD105 PC7/CD31 FITC cell percentages were 23,9%, 13,5%, 24,6%, 11,4% and 28,8% for the A2, B3, L3, M2 and T3 devices, respectively. We conclude that the isolated MSC percentage ranged from 11,4% to 28,8% between devices. The number of MSCs in SVF are key determinants of success in orthobiological treatments. Developing a device should focus on increasing the number of MSCs in the SVF while preserving its metabolic activity.
