Adipose Stem Cells (ASCs) isolation by on-chip pre-treatment of biological samples

This study presents the development of an original 2-steps Lab-on-chip that aims at isolating Adipose Stem Cells (ASCs), cells of considerable interest for regenerative medicine, from complex biological samples. Based on hydrodynamic filtration, the device pre-isolates ASCs by removing cells with a diameter below 10µm such as red blood cells or lymphocytes.
