Dr. David Harrell, PhD, DBRM, FAARM, FRIH* conducted a research study to test if BMAC HARVEST/TERUMO SYSTEM (centrifugre) was superior to other methods as it had been said. Dr. Harrell compared it with the MARROW CELLUTIONS Aspirate Kit.

Five sets of bone marrow aspiarate samples were collected during spine surgery, each with the BMAC System and the MARROW CELLUTIONS System. Redundant testing was performed to ensure bias due to shipping or handling of the samples was minimized.

The MARROW CELLUTIONS Kit does not require a centrifuge. With proper personnel and training, you are able to offer BONE MARROW DERIVE STEM CELLS. These stem cells are the gold standard, being utilized throughout many different fields. Don't go to third party labs and trust a product you are unsure where it came from.

"It is well known that the highest quality bone marrow aspirations (greatest quantity of stem/progenitor cells) require aspirating small volumes of bone marrow (1-2 mL) from different locations and that significant peripheral blood infiltration occurs with larger volume bone marrow aspirates. ¹-⁴ In this pilot study of Marrow Cellution TM (MC) (https://buff.ly/2MinMIV), we investigated whether using the MC device and reducing the volume of aspirate per location from 1 mL to ½ mL across a similar trajectory would improve the stem/progenitor cell concentrations (as counted by fibroblast-like colony-forming units, CFU-f and the CD 34 marker). These tests represent a standard to determine the number of immature stem and progenitor cells that are present in the aspirate.[]..."
