BioLife Cell Bank Reaches Important Milestone
Human tissue bank, BioLife, now has more than 1,000 individual samples of adipose (fat) and/or stem cells stored at their facility in Dallas, Texas.
Dallas, TX, December 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- BioLife Cell Bank, a licensee of the proprietary adipose (fat) tissue cryogenic storage system from Cytori Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CYTX), has stored more than 1,000 individual samples--accepting a transfer of adipose-derived stem cell samples. Clyde Shores, executive vice president of Cytori, congratulates BioLife on reaching this important milestone.
Before, during and after successful transfer to BioLife in Dallas, cells were kept in a suspended state of cryopreservation utilizing liquid nitrogen within special canisters and shippers (dewars). Some of the samples have already been cryopreserved for nearly a decade.
“BioLife is dedicated to tissue banking--specifically, human fat and the stem cells that reside within it,” said Mindy Du, BioLife laboratory and research director. “Usually, we are the ones who process and preserve it, so it was a new experience to receive tissue that has already been cryopreserved. The Cytori and BioLife teams worked together and executed the transfer seamlessly.”
"I’d like to thank Cytori for their continued support, enthusiasm and direction as BioLife continues to grow," said John A. Carbona, chief executive officer of BioLife. "We feel honored that Cytori and dozens of patients are entrusting our company with the care of these samples.”
Founded by Dr. David Genecov and John D. Harkey Jr., BioLife is a leader in cryogenic storage of adipose (fat) tissue and adult mesenchymal stem and regenerative cells. Tissue is removed via liposuction and may be cryogenically preserved for use in future medical procedures.
More than 150 doctors utilize BioLife services. Physician referrals are available by contacting BioLife (972-331-1905) or by visiting biolifecellbank.com.
