After your baby's cord blood is collected, it will be safely transported to our state-of-the-art processing and storage facility in India. Our facility is fully owned by the company and is managed by a team of highly qualified and experienced biotechnologists.
Your baby's cord blood will be processed and stored according to the stringent criteria set by the American Associations of Blood Banks (AABB). We adhere to the highest standards of quality control and assurance to ensure the viability of your child's stem cells.
On receipt of the collected sample at LifeCell laboratory, an array of tests are conducted on the cord blood, cord tissue and maternal sample. Depending upon the outcome of the test the samples may be quarantined or rejected. After testing, the cord blood and cord tissue are taken into a state-of-the-art technology clean room wherein skilled technicians process the samples at utmost care adhering to international quality standards such as those prescribed by AABB (American Association of Blood Banks).
The stem cells from cord blood are harvested using a red cell depletion method aided by a chemical called ‘Hespan’ shich facilitates the separation of red cells from the mononuclear white cells. Separation of stem cells is accomplished by further centrifuge spinning of the white cells.
The cord tissue is washed, minced put into tissue culture for extracting a pure mesenchymal stem cell population.
