Adult stem cell banking involves the collection, processing, and preservation of an individual’s own adult stem cells found in various tissues and organs for potential future medical use. These versatile cells have the remarkable ability to aid in tissue repair and regeneration.
Stored HSCs can treat various hematological and non-hematological conditions, including Multiple Myeloma, Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and some types of Multiple Sclerosis.
These cells are crucial for autologous transplants (i.e. using the donor’s own stem cells) and are collected through an apheresis procedure, following a series of injections.
This method involves collecting a 400mL blood unit, which is processed to remove red blood cells and plasma.
Stem cell storage packages secure these valuable resources for unforeseen medical conditions in the future. Before the procedures, a thorough health assessment ensures your eligibility. Harvested HSCs are typically used for one transplant, with backup of remaining cells that may be secured for other cases.
Stem cells can be safely preserved for 20 years.
