Bone marrow is currently known to be the purer, richer and safer source of MSC; therefore in order to get the MSC as pure and unadulterated as possible it is best to harvest from the bone marrow, which is regarded as the “stem cell niche”.
MSC are collected from patient’s own bone marrow via Bone Marrow Aspiration (BMA) by a qualified physician. BMA is a common procedure undertaken by hematologists or qualified physicians in which a small amount of bone marrow is aspirated from patient’s pelvic bone, normally the iliac crest. It is a simple, convenient, safe and quick procedure where the whole process usually requires less than 20 minutes and it can be done under local anesthesia.
Collected bone marrow cells are then sent to our Clean Room 100 laboratory to be processed by our highly qualified scientist with utmost professionalism and care.
