Cryopreservation
and Processing in Switzerland
Our laboratory, accredited by the Swiss health authorities, will carry out the extraction of stem cells, the analysis, counting and evaluation of cell viability and will proceed with cryopreservation in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. c
Delivery of the Kit
Un corriere incaricato si presenterà direttamente in ospedale o in clinica per ritirare il kit e lo consegnerà al nostro laboratorio. Solo con SSCB, il kit passa dalla sala parto al laboratorio, senza essere pericolosamente spostato all'estero per il processamento.
Certificate
Approximately three months after giving birth you will receive the final cryopreservation certificate. Only SSCB indicates on the certificate the number of isolated stem cells and their cell viability, information required by transplant centers around the world!
A gesture that counts:
Preserve today to protect tomorrow.
