In developing our stem cell processing method, we looked at four things: quality, safety, flexibility, and cost – the same things every parent should consider when choosing a cord blood bank. The result is PREMIERMAX® – the PREMIER process that results in MAXIMUM stem cell recovery and transplant safety. More Stem Cells Every cord blood collection is different, so we developed a process that would yield the highest number of stem cells under all circumstances. Many factors contribute to the number of stem cells in a cord blood collection. Variables like the number of previous pregnancies, the mother’s age, the volume of cord blood collected, and the processing method all come into play. Since the maternal factors and delivery room collection are a given, the processing method is the key to getting the most stem cells possible from newborn cord blood.
