The number of total nucleated cells (TNC) saved is the most important indicator of good processing and it is critical for a successful transplant which is determined by the dose of total nucleated cells administered to the patient. The more cells that are saved, the greater the chance the transplant will be successful. When comparing results from different banks the count of nucleated cells is the most reliable indicator because it is the least variable (Moroff G et al. Transplantation and Cellular Engineering (46) 507-515, 2006). The yield of nucleated cells (recovery (%) of nucleated cells) from processing can therefore be guaranteed. Progenics guarantees that you will get 5 years of free storage if the yield from processing is lower than 80%. Based on published information most cord blood banks yield less than 80% total nucleated cells after processing volume reduction. Currently our average yield of nucleated cells from processing is over 95% and the yield of TNC below 80% was 0.12% and none of the yield of TNC was below 78%. From our quality services you will see why Progenics is an excellent choice to store your baby's cord blood for future use.
