The AlphaCord NextGen Collection System

The AlphaCord NextGen Collection System (Five Chamber Bag) is available to help families have a better chance at using their stem cells for the future. We have designed the NextGen Collection System to meet and exceed the needs of parents, families, and healthcare providers. This proprietary collection system is exclusively AlphaCord's and can collect 4 times more cord blood than the industry standard.

1. The NextGen Cord Blood Collection System

Just after birth, your physician will use the industry’s largest FDA approved cord blood collection bag to collect your newborn’s umbilical cord stem cells. Our oversized, 250 milliliter bag enables your doctor to collect as much cord blood as possible. It is in a sterile wrapping, so it can be used for vaginal and C-section deliveries. The NextGen bag is the only one that has a real-time volume collection indicator, which allows clinicians to instantly see the amount of blood being collected. NextGen also incorporates a proprietary rinsing pouch containing CPD, an anti-clotting agent. When the pouch is activated, it pushes the valuable cord blood remaining in the tubing into the bag. This maximizes the recovery of cord blood stem cells, while minimizing the risk of clotting. There is also a second needle that can be inserted above the initial insertion point. Sometimes the bore or inside of the needle used in the initial insertion may get partially obstructed. This may slow or impede the collection. NextGen’s propriety second needle allows for a “second collection”. This increases the amount of total cord blood collected. These innovative design features were carefully thought out to help doctors collect more stem cells with ease.

• TWO 12-Gauge Needles - Maximizes The Collection Process
• Real-Time Volume Indicator - Right On The Bag
• Collect Up To 250ml Of Cord Blood
• Anti-Clotting Rinsing Pouch
• Sterile Overwrapping
• NextGen Collection System

2. The NextGen 5 Chamber Cryogenic Processing & Storage Bag

• More Stem Cell Treatments: Your child’s cells could be used for five different treatments instead of only one. This gives your child the ability to have multiple treatments. If they match, other family members may also have access to the same set of preserved cells.

• Future Use Cases: Your physician can use one or more of the 5 chambers at any given time. This flexibility gives you the most options for using stem cells now and having some for future uses.

• Testing and Directed Research: When advances in stem cell research occur, having a 5 compartment storage bag allows your family the benefit of participating in life-saving clinical trials without using all of your stem cells.

Newborn Stem Cell Banking is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity . . .

You can also provide the best for your baby by banking their cord blood. Preserving your baby’s cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta can protect or enhance your baby’s life. Currently, there are over 80 diseases that are FDA approved to be treated with cord blood stem cells. There are many clinical trials using mesenchymal stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta to treat ailments such as autism, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and spinal cord injuries. Banking your baby’s stem cells privately ensures that their stem cells will be available to them any time in the future.
