Our Process

The stem cell banking process starts from the pre-screening of medical history of the pregnant woman and includes the following steps if qualified (no risk of infectious or genetic diseases):

• Collection of cord tissue by physicians trained previously for sterile handling of the tissue immediately after delivery. 
• Donor (mom) blood testing for infectious diseases panel
• Transportation of fresh cord tissue to our GMP facility.
• Tissue processing immediately after it is received and meets the criteria for stem cell isolation.
• Primary stem cell culture and intermediate testing to determine whether the tissue/stem cells are contaminated by bacteria or mycoplasma. 
• Expansion of stem cells if no contamination is found. 
• Storage of stem cells banks in liquid nitrogen.
• Characterization and quality testing of stem cells
• Regularly assess the quality of stored stem cells (stability testing)
