A potentially scalable method for the harvesting of hMSCs from microcarriers

- A scalable method based on agitation theory for harvesting hMSCs from microcarriers.
- Harvesting involves cell detachment from microcarriers followed by separation step.
- A combined short burst of intense agitation plus enzyme detaches cells in ~7 min.
- After detachment, cells are not be damaged being smaller than Kolmogorov microscale.
- After harvest, cells retain all their usual quality attributes.
