for Stem Cell Collection and Preservation
|
Stem Cell Authority, Ltd. provides a safe, ethical, smart approach to umbilical cord and cord blood collection and stem cell preservation.
CLICK HERE to request more information about preserving your child's stem cells! We will contact you to register you for the program.
Safe
The process is non-invasive, taking place after the birth of the baby and the umbilical cord is cut. The blood is collected from the umbilical cord into a blood bag, and the bag and the umbilical cord are transported to the laboratory for processing and cryogenic preservation.
Ethical
Our collection is non-controversial, taking place after the delivery of the child. No embryonic stem cells are destroyed or harmed in the process.
Smart
Stem Cell Authority Ltd. is unique in the industry in that our program provides the preservation of two distinct types of stem cells, allowing for the possibility of more treatment options than traditional cord blood collection alone. Stem Cell Authority Ltd. is the ONLY company that can offer parents in the U.S. the collection and preservation of the MIRACHYMALTM stem cells from the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord. Further, if they are ever needed for treatment, the stem cells may be used not only by your baby, but also possibly by others, such as siblings, parents, grandparents, other family members, and even unrelated patients.

What Are Stem Cells?
Stem cells are the basic cells from which all of the body’s organs and tissues are made, such as the blood and immune systems; red blood cells for carrying oxygen, white blood cells for fighting infection, and platelets for clotting the blood.
Stem cells are now used in the treatment of many medical conditions, and new uses are being discovered every day. Stem cells repair damaged organs or diseased tissue. They can be cryogenically preserved (frozen) for many years. Among the many advantages of preserving your child’s stem cells is the fact that the stem cells are an exact match for your child if they are ever needed for treatment, eliminating the long and sometimes futile process of finding a matching donor. If non-matching stem cells are used, there is a possibility that the body may reject the cells.
Two Distinct Types of Stem Cells
The Stem Cell Authority Ltd. collection process provides two distinct types of stem cells, allowing for much broader treatment possibilities than traditional cord blood collection alone. Stem Cell Authority Ltd. is the ONLY company that can offer parents in the U.S. the collection and preservation of MIRACHYMALTM stem cells from the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord. The proprietary Stem Cell Authority Ltd. stem cell preservation program includes the following two distinct stem cell lines:
MIRACHYMALTM stem cells are found in abundance in the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord, and generate bone, cartilage, nerves, muscle, heart and other tissues.

Advantages for the Expectant Mother
A one-on-one, private relationship between the patient and physician is maintained. The patient gets the most up to date literature and information directly from her trusted physician.
A state-of-the-art collection kit for two different types of stem cells - MIRACHYMALTM stem cells from the Wharton's Jelly inside the umbilical cord and Hematopoietic stem cells from the umbilical cord blood - that can be used for either a vaginal delivery or a cesarean section delivery if one is planned or becomes necessary.
Physicians who participate in our program are trained by experienced physicians in the umbilical cord and cord blood collection procedure, and have 24/7 access to our call center for help with any questions or concerns.
Pre-arranged pick up and delivery of the umbilical cord and cord blood. Many blood samples are unable to be processed and the stem cells are unable to be preserved because of mishandling and time lost during the transportation of the blood to the laboratory. Stem Cell Authority Ltd. tracks all cord and blood samples until they reach the laboratory.
