1. A system to separate a selected cell fraction from a sample volume, comprising:
- a container having a first wall extending from a first bottom wall to an upper rim;
a collection section positioned near the upper rim and at an exterior surface of the first wall, the collection section having a second wall extending from a second bottom wall wherein the second bottom wall is nearer the upper rim than the first bottom wall;
a lid covering both the container and the collection section;
wherein the lid is operable to move between an open position and a closed position to selectively close the container from the collection section.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system to separate, enrich, and/or purify a cellular population from a biological tissue, such as a tissue sample. For example, an adipose tissue sample can be acquired and disrupted. The disrupted tissue sample can then be separated and purified. The separated components can include multipotent, pluripotent, or other cell populations.

18. A system to separate a selected cell fraction from a sample volume, comprising:
-
a container having a main container area and an isolation area spaced from the main container area with a wall portion therebetween, the isolation area forming an annular well around the main container area having a sump defined within the annular well; a barrier wall extending a width of the isolation area, where the barrier wall defines a first end and a second end of the isolation area; a lid covering both the main container area and the isolation area; and a sealing member extending from the wall portion between the main container area and the isolation area, wherein the lid is operable to move between an open position and a closed position to selectively close the main container area from the isolation area. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
