As illustrated in the chart to your right, StemCyte has supplied more than TWICE as many units as all other family banks combined. We believe that our experience and expertise in cord blood transplantation truly separates us from the rest of the industry.

When choosing a cord blood bank for your baby's lifesaving stem cells, we suggest that the most important questions to consider are: 'What if we actually need to use the cord blood that we have saved?  How will we know that it will work?' You will discover that there is a significant difference among cord blood banks in their experience in saving lives. StemCyte laboratories have provided more than 1000 cord blood stem cell units for use in treating more than 40 different diseases in over 140 hospitals and continues to provide 4-5 units for transplant every week.

Theirs: The 294 units provided for transplantation were obtained by combining the total unduplicated number of transplanted units from all of the family (also known as private) bank laboratories as published on www.parentsguidecordblood.com as of November 13, 2007 .

Ours: Our transplant record includes both publicly donated and privately stored cord blood units. The same physicians, medical technologists and laboratory personnel who process, freeze, and store cord blood units for our highly accredited public bank follow the same processing protocols for our StemCyte Family units.

• Is the laboratory accredited by the National Marrow Donor Program?
• Does the Bank have peer reviewed (published) data supporting transplant efficacy?
• Does the company have experience working with leading transplant centers?
