Umbilical cord blood information for Healthcare Professionals 

As a Healthcare Professional working in Obstetrics and/or Gynaecology, you may already be aware of the advances in the science of using umbilical cord blood stem cells to treat different cancers, immune deficiencies and genetic disorders and the potential of further uses in the future as medical research advances our understanding.

Smart Cells aim is to ensure we provide expectant parents with an accessible, professional, transparent and easy experience. We also aim to provide every expectant parent with an informed choice about storing umbilical cord blood stem cells.

Our service covers five key areas;

• Advice and customer service support
• Preparation and Collection
• Processing of your sample
• Successful storage of your sample
• After care support

In providing this to our customers we hope to provide you, the Parents healthcare professional, with everything you need to make a successful collection for the parents, whilst ensuring the safety of Mum and baby. If you require any specific information, assistance or reassurance please contact our team on +44 (0) 207 436 9966.

After the collection, the sample is handed back to the parents who will then organise the return of their child's cord blood to our processing and storage facilities in Plymouth. Our ambient temperature controlled collection bags will ensure the viability of the sample for a considerable time after collection.

If you, or your staff, require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact our team at on +44 (0) 207 436 9966.
