With CultureFIRST, you can be assured of
Higher cell count: Yield up to 8x more* than the cells yield from frozen tissue.
Readily available for treatment: Your Cord Stem Cells are readily available as soon as they are needed. This differs from other banks that choose to store whole or chopped Cord Tissues without culturing the Stem Cells prior to storage. Extra time will be required to process the stem cells prior to treatment.
Further possibilities for your future: The Cord Stem Cells can be further multiplied with a culturing process if the therapy (for certain conditions) require larger doses of cord stem cells.

Recovery of viable MSCs isolated from fresh umbilical cord tissue, measured after cryopreservation, is on average 8-fold higher when compared to recovery of viable MSCs isolated from previously cryopreserved umbilical cord tissue.
