An integrated lipoaspirate processing system is disclosed for mechanically processing adipose tissue into a therapeutic material that, in some embodiments, may be directly injected into a subject. The system includes an emulsification device that is used to emulsify the lipoaspirate sample. The emulsified lipoaspirate is then filtered by a microfluidic filtration device. The filtrate of the microfluidic filtration device is then processed in a microfluidic dissociation device. The integrated platform or system helps standardize hydrodynamic processing of lipoaspirate by producing predictable and consistent shear forces and enabling automation in clinical settings. Progressive processing through multiple devices in series enables optimal recovery of regenerative cells while preventing clogging.
