Processing

Upon arrival at our partner stem cell bank, the cord blood is immediately processed. We process to standards that exceed today's FDA cord blood requirements by processing in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice standards (cGMP). This means that the cord blood processed by CorCell will not only be eligible for straightforward transplants in the future but will also qualify for manufactured therapies in the future where the stored cord blood stem cells are but a single ingredient.

Therefore, the benefit is that the potential use of the stem cells is not limited to simple transplantation but remains open to future cell therapies to come from today's research using cells stored today with tomorrow in mind. This is a unique advantage CorCell offers our customers.

Our facility is staffed 24 hours day, ready to receive your cord blood from the medical courier who takes it from the hospital. All specimens are tested to ensure the stem cells meet the rigid standards for transplantation or other therapeutic use. They are evaluated for bacterial contamination and infectious disease. Plus, a count is taken of the number of stem cells in the specimen. Mother's blood is tested for infectious disease as required by the FDA, AABB, and state regulations.
