A mass separation of chondrocytes from cartilage tissue utilizing an automatic crushing device

摘要

Porcine articular cartilage tissue was crushed using Multi-Beads-Shocker? and digested with trypsin and collagenase type II. Chondrocyte cell yield was maximized by automatic crushing for 10 s, which was 4 times that by manual dicing with a surgical blade and might be useful for the automation of the cell processing.
