The most common processing, isolation, and cryopreservation protocols for different cell types will be briefly outlined as well. Several commercial products for stem cell processing and applications will be presented. At the end of the chapter, the main steps for stem cell procurement, processing, culturing and passaging, and cryopreservation will be explained.
