This largely depends on the volume of blood collected but a range of 50,000 to 200 million stem cells can be obtained, representing about 0.1-3.0% of the total number of cells. The cells are obtained by standard centrifugation techniques which allow the unwanted cells to be largely removed and the stem cells to be concentrated.
