CD133+ stem cells. This particular type of stem cells has great potential for research and
clinical applications. Traditional [polyethylene glycol (PEG), dextran (DEX), and ficoll] and
novel (Ucon) polymer–polymer ATPS were exploited to study the partitioning behavior of
CD133+ stem cells and contaminants from human umbilical cord blood (HUCB). The aim of
