LifeCell offers several distinct options for preservation of umbilical cord blood and tissue stem cells.
LifeCell BabyCord is a complete service offering where the umbilical cord tissue is also collected, minimally processed and stored, in addition to preservation of the umbilical cord blood stem cells. Storing the umbilical cord tissue at the time of birth provides the opportunity of retrieving mesenchymal stem cells on a later date, if the need arises.
LifeCell BabyCord Duo 50 M:
LifeCell BabyCord is a comprehensive service offering where about 50 million mesenchymal stem cells are extracted from the umbilical cord tissue before cryo-freezing. In addition the umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue are also preserved. Harvesting the mesenchymal stem cells at the time of birth allows for exact quality assessment at the time of initial storage. This provides better assurance at the time of transplantation, apart from saving 6-8 weeks of time required for processing these stem cells on a later date.
