Testing and blood preparation

In the SCB nOvum laboratory blood is being tested for future use. We test cell count and viability in collected material and we perform a microbiological test. We also test the mother’s venous blood drawn during the delivery. The last step is a preparation.

The deposit in stem cell bank

The deposit containing stem cells is frozen and put in cryostat, where it is stored in liquid nitrogen in the temperature of approximately -196°C. Approximately 3 weeks after childbirth, you will be informed about tests results by phone. Next, we will send you documentation including blood preparation protocols and deposit certificate which constitutes an official confirmation of stem cell storage in SCB nOvum.
