What is the NextGen Cord Blood Collection Kit?
If you want premium storage when it comes to your newborn’s precious stem cells, then you may want to choose NextGen Collection System. Essentially, when you choose this option, you are choosing the option to collect and store more than double the volume of our standard bags. The NextGen bag is a 5-chamber storage system that can hold up to 250 mL. The collection process itself works the same way, but your NextGen bag does have a real-time volume collection indicator, which allows hospital staff to instantly see the amount of blood being collected. Seeing collection volumes in real-time typically results in significantly higher recovery volumes. Our system incorporates a proprietary rinsing pouch containing an anti-clotting agent. When clinicians activate the pouch, it pushes the valuable cord blood remaining in the tubing into your bag. This maximizes the recovery of your child’s cord blood stem cells while minimizing the risk of clotting. The two 12-Gauge Needles are used to maximize the amount of cord blood collected. The 12 Gauge diameter allows more blood to freely flow into the collection bag & an additional needle allows for a second insertion, collecting more stem cells.What Are The Benefits of NextGen Collection System?
So what are the benefits of choosing a premium storage option like NextGen? Well, for starters, it has five separate chambers, which allows for five different stem cell treatments for your family. It also only costs $59 more than our standard 2-chamber bags. Here are the main advantages of choosing NextGen:- 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. Having five chambers means other family members may also have access to these cells.
- More Stem Cell Treatments Your newborn’s stem cells could be used for up to five different treatments.
- Testing & 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.
