Some cord blood banks simply cut the umbilical cord into smaller pieces, freeze and then store without processing. Unlike them, StemCord extracts the cord tissue stem cells before storage so that they are immediately available for treatment when needed.

The MSCs can be further multiplied with a culturing process in the future. This is especially so if the therapy (for certain conditions) requires larger doses of MSCs.

Research shows that extracting the stem cells before storage increases cell yield 8x more than the cell yield from frozen tissue1. In addition, while cells extracted from frozen cord tissue exhibited good functional recovery, there were poor cell recoveries, decreased plating efficiency, increased doubling times and slower growth characteristics2.
