About Us

Switzerland's only FACT-NETCORD accredited private biobank

Swiss Stem Cells Biotech (SSCB), founded in 2005 in Lugano, Switzerland, is the only Swiss private biobank that is FACT-NetCord accredited and GMP certified. Following strict Swiss regulations, SSCB is involved in cryopreservation of stem cells from cord blood, cord tissue and adipose tissue. SSCB is the only biobank participating in the Swiss public-private hybrid banking pilot project.

Through this initiative, samples from patients who choose to participate in this model of biobanking can be anonymously listed in the World Marrow Donor Association (WMDA) global registry, making them anonymously potentially available for worldwide use. The parents can then still decide if they wish to donate the sample or not. No private samples will ever be shared with the public registry without explicit previous consent and this model is only available at specific partner birth hospitals.

Expertise

Preserve your baby's stem cells.

Storing the stem cells from umbilical cord and placental tissue represents an act of love for your baby. These cells have the ability to differentiate into various cell types, offering an unparalleled opportunity in the field of medicine.

SSCB Hybrid Model

A gesture of solidarity that also protects your loved ones

The service represents an ideal solution that combines family safety with an act of solidarity towards other patients awaiting transplants, offering personal protection and a contribution to the community.

Since 2020, this project, approved by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) and developed in collaboration with the Women’s Clinic of Inselspital in Bern, the Blood Transfusion Service of the Swiss Red Cross (SRC), and Swiss Stem Cell Biotech AG (SSCB), offers a hybrid storage service available in various clinics nationwide.

Preservation of blood, umbilical cord tissue, and placental tissue

A vital resource for medicine, with applications for established therapies in more than 80 diseases and potential applications in hundreds of clinical trials.

Storage of adipose tissue-derived stem cells

A strategic choice to secure a wide range of future treatments by harnessing the potential of mesenchymal stem cells in different medical fields.

DNA storage

A crucial process for preserving one's genetic code, crucial for future medical applications, personalized research and treatments.

Contract manufacturing

Consultation, development, validation, approval, and production, as well as storage in nitrogen vapor, of products in the field of tissue engineering and advanced biological products (Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products, ATMPs) on behalf of third parties.
