BMAC

First practical point-of-care tool designed to concentrate
a buffy coat from whole blood marrow aspirate

In less than 15 minutes, the (SmartPReP 2) BMAC system simultaneously isolates and concentrates: 
 - Autologous Stem Cells from bone marrow aspirate - BMAC Series
 - Autologous Growth Factors from peripheral blood - APC+ Series
 - Autologous Thrombin activator to stimulate and initiate the release of growth factors - HAT

Performance
There has been a lot of excitement regarding the use of bone marrow derived stem cells; especially in orthopedics as a potential to eliminate the complications associated with iliac crest graft harvesting. Consequently, it is critical to choose a technology platform that is not only documented to reliably concentrate all the stem and accessory cells but also concentrates these cells without diminishing their biologic potential.

As an example, selective retention techniques are less than optimal processing systems. The process routinely fails to capture a large number of cells present in the bone marrow aspirate. Furthermore, the end product is limited in the types of cells, molecules and proteins it is able to recover from bone marrow and return to the patient.

Unlike these selective retention techniques, the (SmartPReP) BMAC system is designed to concentrate a buffy coat from whole bone marrow aspirate. Because a buffy coat is a physiological fraction, it contains the total compliment of all stem cell types as well as platelets and other soluble factors that play a role in skeletalgenesis.

Quality
The method used for concentrating stem cells has a direct impact on the stem cells. In order to deliver enough progenitor cells, the stem cells not only need to be concentrated but concentrated in such a way as to leave them viable and functional. Stem cells concentrated using the (SmartPReP) BMAC system meet these critical criteria.

Reliability
The (SmartPReP 2) BMAC system simultaneously delivers speed, performance, dependable results while eliminating the time and and guesswork associated with other modalities. The unique automated dual-spin and decanting process coupled with self-calibrating disposables ensures consistent and reproducible end product.
