Is it possible to get stem cells from just centrifugation? Here's a site where a plastic surgeon claims that the middle layer and the pellet of centrifuged fat contains a great deal of stem cells after simple centrifugation of adipose tissue.

So are the stem cells in the pellet and mid layer ready for use in the body? Is there another way or tissue type of any kind to get stem cells after just centrifuging?
SVF or Stromal vascular fraction containing Adipose stem cells and EPC or endothelial cells can be obtained by centrifuging enzyme treated fat with certain in-built filters.A company named Cytori Therapeutics has developed a Centrifugation based method to obtain SVF for point of care cosmetic applications.
centrifugation separates beets with different size and weight. Stem cells have same shape with differentiated cells. you can cover the stem cells with heavy metal conjugated anti-marker antibodies for example CD44, to make a density difference, centrifuging may works for separation
