UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD
BANKING WITH THE UK’S
FIRST STEM CELL COMPANY
Stem cells collected from your baby’s umbilical cord at birth can be used to protect your family from over 80 conditions and diseases
As a society we’ve always dreamt of a healthy, disease-free world
One of the bravest moves in that direction has come from stem cell research and therapy. Stem cell therapy is currently being used to successfully treat more than 80 diseases, but the field is rapidly evolving backed by prestigious research and clinical trials.
Smart Cells is the first private UK stem cell storage company to have released stored stem cell units for use in the treatment of children with life-threatening illnesses. We have released the greatest number of
samples for use in transplants from the UK.
We believe with the development of technology in the future we will be able to treat even more illnesses.
We believe our customers deserve the best service available and we run our
state of the art facility with leading professionals in the field.
We believe that storing your child’s stem cells at birth can be a crucial
part of treating or curing an unexpected illness.
We believe that in the future this service should be available to every parent, child and family.
We are a company that is for life.
WHAT ARE STEM CELLS?
They serve as a repair and maintenance system for other body cells and the blood and immune systems by multiplying and transforming in to blood, bone, tissue and organ cells, when they are required to. At Smart Cells we store stem cells found in the umbilical cord blood and tissue. These potent cells find their way to injured cells and tissue in the body and begin to replace them.
UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD
A cord blood stem cell transplant can be used to replace diseased cells with healthy new cells, and rebuild an individual’s blood and immune system. More recently, cord blood stem cells have been shown to be able to form other tissues in the body such as nerve and bone cells.
Smart Cells were incorporated in July 2000.
Using state of the art technology, we’re ensuring we are a technologically advanced and innovative company in the field. We have released a number of cord blood units for clinical use worldwide and are continuing to do so.

"I thought the service was excellent!"

"I understand that stories of cloning and Dolly the sheep make people worry that they are playing with nature but it's the most natural thing. When you have children, it is your instinct to do anything to help your child survive. This is just one part of that."

"Smart Cells were really good help in explaining the whole process and giving me peace of mind when I had a question. Very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure dealing with them. The two Phlebotomists who I was in touch with were both nice and efficient"

"We are all living longer and a lot of us will unfortunately experience illness within our lifetimes - storing cells that may one day become part of a future treatment or cure will potentially prolong and enrich the lives of both you and your family. It's a no-brainer."

"I hope to never have to use it, however if that time should ever come, I'll feel more prepared than if I chose not to store my baby's stem cells."
