How do you screen the cells for diseases? 

On the day of collection, a microbiologist meets with the donor and mother to sign the informed consent, and a blood sample is taken from the donor. Once the umbilical cord is collected, both samples are immediately transported to the lab for processing. The documents are reviewed, and the blood is tested for infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis B. If the sample is cleared, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) are extracted, briefly expanded, and then frozen for future use. A final quality check ensures the cells can grow and differentiate properly—if not, they are discarded. Because MSCs from umbilical cords are extremely young, they are free from environmental damage that can affect stem cells collected later in life from bone marrow or fat tissue.
