description Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) has gained significant attention in clinical applications due to its regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Initially identified decades ago, SVF is derived from adipose tissue and has been increasingly utilized in a variety of therapeutic settings. The isolation and processing protocols for SVF have evolved substantially, particularly after its classification as an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP), which mandates adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure sterility and product quality. Despite the progress, few studies over the last decade have focused on the standardization of SVF processing. Recent advances, driven by the potential of SVF and its derived products such as Adipose-derived Stem Cells, have prompted the development of improved isolation strategies aimed at enhancing their therapeutic and regenerative efficacy. Notable progress includes the advent of automated processing systems, which reduce technical errors, minimize variability, and improve reproducibility across laboratories. These developments, along with the establishment of more precise protocols and guidelines, have enhanced the consistency and clinical applicability of SVF-based therapies. This review discusses the key aspects of SVF isolation and processing, highlighting the efforts to standardize the procedure and ensure the reliability of SVF products for clinical use.
