A method of purifying adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from a sample of adipose tissue, including: flowing the sample onto a polymer surface having at least one vertical helical-shaped portion, vertical threaded shaped portion, or vertical grooved shaped portion at a first flow rate of 10 to 150 ml/min allowing separation into a first remaining sample including mesenchymal stem cells on the polymer surface and into a second resulting solution being evacuated from the polymer surface; flowing a saline solution onto the polymer surface at a second flow rate of 100 to 500 ml/min, the first flow rate being slower than the second flow rate; and collecting the saline solution including purified mesenchymal stem cells in a collector. Also, an apparatus and a system for purifying adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, the use of the apparatus, and a method of isolating and purifying adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells from an adipose tissue sample.
