The Company

Life Cells specialises 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 babies’ 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 five minutes to complete.  After processing in a Class A sterile environment followed by secure storage at a fully regulated and monitored storage location, stem cells can then be available in the future should they be needed. Doctors are now using stem cells to fight a range of serious diseases such as leukaemia and other unexpected childhood cancers and to date there have been over 10,000 umbilical cord blood transplants worldwide.
