Life Line Stem Cell

About

Life Line Stem Cell is strictly a collection organization that works with various laboratories. Life Line Stem Cell has staff at their contract hospitals that work with healthcare providers and expectant mothers to obtain informed consent and then collect all of the perinatal stem cell sources: cord blood, cord tissue, and the placenta. Life Line Stem Cell sends the donations to their partner laboratories.

Donated cord blood that is suitable for transplant goes to one of the Be The Match public banks that partner with Life Line Stem Cell. At present these are Cord For Life and LifebankUSA.

Perinatal tissue donations primarily go to CellSure to support the development of stem cell therapies.

Life Line Stem Cell does not have the ability to staff partner hospitals 24/7, but they do their absolute best to approach every mother when she comes in for delivery. Mothers also have the option to preregister with Life Line Stem Cell, but it is not mandatory.
