Claims (4)

1 . A method for recovering a regenerative platform from a tissue sample, said method comprising:

a) providing a tissue sample housed in a first tissue collection container adapted for an automated tissue processing unit, wherein the automated tissue processing unit comprises a removable rotating apparatus comprising at least two cavities, wherein each cavity is configured for detachably inserting a tissue collection container within the cavity wherein the tissue sample comprises a suspension of tissue pieces in an aqueous fluid; and

b) subjecting the tissue sample to at least one round of centrifugation of at least 400×g for at least about 5 minutes using the automated tissue processing unit thereby separating a tissue sample concentrate from the tissue sample, wherein the tissue sample concentrate comprises a regenerative platform.
