How we safely bank your newborn’s stem cells

Your newborn’s stem cells are collected immediately after birth by your doctor or midwife using the CellSave collection kit. The collection process is non-invasive, completely painless and only takes a few minutes.

The stem cells are then sealed in a temperature-monitored shipping container. You or your partner call us when you have a moment – we’re available 24/7, 365 days a year to collect the kit and securely transport it to our state-of-the-art laboratory in Dubai Healthcare City.

We receive and process stem cell collections every day of the year, which are analysed by our experienced laboratory scientists for TNCs, CD34+/CD45 count, viability, bacteriology, fungal and infectious diseases.

The precious stem cells from the cord blood are separated, purified and concentrated.

The stem cells are prepared for cryogenic storage and frozen using a method that ensures complete protection from damage.

We place the frozen stem cells in our cryotanks, containing liquid nitrogen at almost -196˚C. At this temperature, the cells remain perfectly preserved for decades.

Our high-tech system continuously monitors the frozen stem cells. If they are ever needed, we perform another round of quality checks before transporting them in cryogenic tanks to any transplant centre in the world.
