Home Stem Cell Banking Procedures

Bone marrow and adipose (fat) are two good sources of stem cells. Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are prevalent in bone marrow whereas mesenchymal stem cells can be found in adipose (fat) tissue. For adults, we extract stem cells from these sources. The process of harvesting from these sources may take about approximately 30 minutes.

Bone Marrow

Bone marrows are rich in Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs). To extract stem cells from the bone marrow, a special needle is inserted through the skin and into the marrow cavity of the hip bone.

Local anaesthesia will be administered in this process and there will barely be any discomfort.

The bone marrow will then replenish itself completely within 4 to 6 weeks.

Adipose (Fat) Tissue

Adipose (fat) tissue contains Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs). To harvest stem cells from adipose (fat) tissue, a process called ‘Liposuction’ is required.

Liposuction is a process of removing fats from the body using suction.

Small, thin, tubes called cannula are inserted through small incisions in the skin and fat tissue is extracted.

STEPS TO TAKE

To find out how you can harvest and bank your stem cells with us, give us a call. We are on hand to provide you with information and assistance.

Before any procedure to harvest stem cells, we will arrange a health screening for you. Our medical professionals will answer your questions and provide medical advice on the next course of action and the most suitable procedure to extract and store stem cells for you. Extraction or harvesting will be administered by our consulting doctor.

After the procedure, stem cells are transported to Stem Med Cellular Laboratory in our medical grade stem cell kit in less than two hours. At the laboratory, we have stringent standards to extract, process and store stem cells. The harvested stem cells are stored in cryo-bags/vials, which will be systematically frozen, minus one degree Celsius at a time, in cryopreservative solution.

A report will be sent to you on the actual quantity and viability of the stem cells stored. This may vary from individual to individual.
