Determining Optimal Transport Conditions of In Vitro Cultured Human Chondrocytes Prepared for Autologous Re-Implantation Using Flow Cytometry

Re-implantation of in vitro cultured chondrocytes is one of the most promising methods for curing deep aseptic lesions of articular cartilage. After cultivation, the cell suspension is submitted to a department of orthopaedic surgery. Transport conditions should guarantee over 90% viability of the shipped cell quantity after 72 hours.
