Secure Your Baby’s Future by Banking Umbilical Cord Stem Cells

Human bodies contain various cell types, with stem cells being among the most vital. These unique cells can develop into any cell type when needed. They can be collected from two main sources: bone marrow and umbilical cords of newborns. While extracting stem cells from bone marrow can be uncomfortable, collecting from the umbilical cord is painless and safe for both mother and child. Preserving these cells can be a potential treatment for children with blood or immune system disorders.

LifeCell is India's leading stem cell bank, with over 12 years of expertise in umbilical cord stem cell preservation.

Umbilical stem cells are easier to harvest and possess advantages over bone marrow cells. For treatment matching, only four parameters need to match with umbilical cord stem cells, compared to six for bone marrow. Additionally, cord tissue preservation is possible, which isn't feasible with bone marrow collection.

What does LifeCell do with the stem cells?
After collection, the umbilical cord blood undergoes lab testing for infections, sterility, and cell viability. The stem cells are then separated from the cord blood and tissue, cryogenically stored at -196°C. To ensure safety, LifeCell maintains dual storage sites, protecting the samples from unforeseen disasters.

Stem cells can be harvested within 10 minutes of birth. Reasons to bank your baby's stem cells include:
Limited availability of Indian donors and long waiting lists
Autologous stem cells are the preferred treatment first
Umbilical stem cells can address conditions like diabetes, autism, and cerebral palsy
The cost of stem cell banking can reach up to 20 lakhs, making it a worthy investment for your child's health.
