Procedure
At Progenics, we begin by conducting the necessary maternal blood and infectious disease testing, as required by regulatory bodies, with testing provided by Dynacare. A collection kit with sterile bags is then provided, along with instructions on sample transportation and collection for healthcare providers. Upon receiving the sample, it is processed using our modified double stem cell extraction technique, developed by our R&D team. After processing, the sample is crypropreserved and stored in a secure, monitored facility with backup generators and liquid nitrogen freezers.
