Congratulations and welcome to Life Cells.

We specialise in giving parents throughout the European Union and the rest of the world, the opportunity to store life-saving stem cells which are extracted from your baby’s Umbilical Cord Blood at the moment of birth. This stem cell-rich blood would otherwise be discarded along with the placenta.

The collection of these precious stem cells is a totally safe and painless procedure and takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Life Cells can provide a fully-qualified phlebotomist to collect the sample on your behalf, if required.

After processing in a Class A sterile environment followed by secure storage at a fully regulated and monitored storage location, your stem cells will be available to you in the future should you ever need them. Doctors are now using stem cells to fight a range of serious diseases such as leukaemia and other unexpected childhood cancers as well as being there for your child when he or she is older. To date there have been over 10,000 Umbilical Cord Blood transplants worldwide.

The most widely applied therapy for stem cells today is as a bone marrow transplant in the treatment of various cancers. Using your baby’s own stem cells guarantees compatibility and eliminates a potentially long and possibly fruitless worldwide search to find a compatible donor.

Perhaps the most important aspect of this type of service is the ability of the company to deliver the stem cells for therapeutic application. Our combined laboratory facilities have so far released over 160 samples, more then any other individual company, to help save lives. We also store as many cryovials as possible on your behalf. If there are enough stem cells present to fill more than the standard 2 vials we will store them at no extra cost to to you.

Life Cells has an expanding quality network of fully- accredited and experienced laboratories throughout the world. Within the United Kingdom our chosen laboratory is Human Tissue Authority (HTA) licensed and Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency accredited by the UK Department of Health.

Our main European facilities are in Belgium and Holland, with 2 additional sites in Germany. Each one is EU Tissues and Cells Directive compliant. Our US facility is FDA and USA CBBA accredited. All of this guarantees that wherever you choose to store your baby’s stem cells you can feel assured of the highest possible standards.

We demand no less for Life Cells Families.
