PREPACYTE-CB (CAT#: AM-FBE-0047-LC)

The PrepaCyte-CB® processing system is used to isolate the greatest amount of stem cells from human umbilical cord blood. It is a completely closed, sterile system that greatly reduces the chance for contamination during processing.

PrepaCyte-CB is a two-bag device that can interconnect with any freezing and storage bag of the lab's choice (single, dual or 5-chambered). The first bag is pre-filled with the PrepaCyte-CB separation solution, and the second bag is used to separate the blood's components during processing. The system's interconnected, closed-bag set limits cell manipulation and helps minimize environmental contamination and identification errors. PrepaCyte-CB's bag set and separation solution are also shown to be non-toxic.

PrepaCyte-CB has been shown to yield the highest number of colony-forming units (CFUs). The number of CFUs is currently the most accurate measurement to determine stem cell potency and the potential for stem cell engraftment.1,2,3
PrepaCyte-CB has been shown to recover the greatest percentage of CD34+ stem cells from human umbilical cord blood.
PrepaCyte-CB is the only processing type where TNC and CD 34+ recovery is not affected by the initial volume of the collected unit.
PrepaCyte-CB has also been shown to provide the greatest reduction in red blood cell (RBC) contamination compared with all other processing methods.
PrepaCyte-CB–processed samples have a significantly greater clonogenic potential than all current methods.
