Our products
The Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank opened in 2008. It now contains over 10,000 banked high quality cord units and continues an active collection Programme, collecting from over 6,000 new donors each year. Our donors are fully informed and consent for the materials to be used for a wide range of clinical and research applications.
Options include:
- Fresh collected whole cord blood
- Cryopreserved reduced-volume cord blood
- Research and clinical-grade materials
- Fresh cord tissue
- Isolated cells, including CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells
- Enriched samples, containing mononuclear cells (MNC), platelet-poor (PPP) or platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
The function and biology of progenitor cells found in cord blood units present a unique potential for the development of novel cell therapies, which is why so many of our partners working in advanced therapies and regenerative medicine choose to use it.
Blood from the umbilical cord and placenta is a rich source of stem and progenitor cells, and can be used to treat many blood cancers, immune deficiencies and genetic disorders.
Umbilical tissue is a potent source of mesenchymal stromal cells, which have shown to have potential benefits in a range of conditions because of their ability to help regulate the immune system and to self-renew and differentiate into a wide range of tissue, such as bone, cartilage, or liver.
