A cell harvesting kit, for harvesting cells from a vein of a patient, has a packaging container (11) containing three trays (12,14,31), a support (16) holding the components needed for cell harvesting, and three vials (28) containing enzyme solutions and salt solution, respectively. The three trays include an outer tray (12) having a lid (13) engaged therewith to preserve sterility, a component tray (14) within the outer tray, the component tray (14) having a sealed lid (17) and having a shelf about its perimeter for supporting the support (16) having depressions therein for holding the components needed in cell harvesting, and a third tray contained within the component tray, the third tray comprising a process tray (31) with a trough (30) in which an excised vein may be placed for harvesting. A method for harvesting cells from a vein of a patient is also provided.
