Contract

The CONTRACT of autologous cryopreservation signed with Bioscience Institute SpA is a contract stipulated by parents directly, without intermediaries, with the company owning the laboratories and systems of biological cryopreservation. This means that Bioscience Institute responds directly on its work, promising not to transfer to third parties the rights under the contract. Bioscience Institute, in order to ensure the reliability over time to its customers, undertakes a contractual obligation to maintain the level of quality of the procedures used and the structure in which it operates, through instruments objectively reliable as international certifications.

Why is it preferable that the company that signs the CONTRACT is the same that offers the service?

A contract, signed directly with the company that owns and manages its laboratories where the cells are preserved, allows to be in contact with a single party that is directly responsible for its work.

Why the opportunity to assign the rights to a third party is a risk for the company that signes the contract?

A contract that provides the opportunity for the company to transfer the rights arising from it to another company, or a third party, fails to protect adequately those who entrust their stem cells because it does not guarantee the characteristics of the company or the third party to whom the rights may be transferred.

CAUTION

If the contract is signed by an Italian company:

› It means that the company does not own the workshops but only an intermediary, because in Italy by law there can be no private banks of autologous stem;

› The contract is void, because in violation of the Law 219/2005 in Italy which prohibits any activity related to stem cells, including the business even when stored abroad;

› The contract is void, because in violation of the Law 219/2005 in Italy which prohibits any activity related to stem cells, including the business even when stored abroad;

Costs

We wish to highlight the importance of QUALITY, which should be paramount compared to economic elements when choosing the bank where stem cells are to be preserved.

In biological cryopreservation, complying with a high quality standard is the only way of preserving and handling stem cells from the cord to make sure that they can be used for a transplant. In the biotechnology sector QUALITY is a costly requirement, but it is essential in order to have adequate safety guarantees.

An economically advantageous proposal inevitably goes to the detriment of QUALITY.

20 Years and then ?

Il primo trapianto con cellule staminali del sangue cordonale è stato effettuato nel 1988 su un bambino affetto da Anemia di Fanconi (le cellule staminali sono state raccolte dal sangue del cordone della sorellina); solo dal 1990 ha avuto inizio la raccolta del sangue del cordone ombelicale per il congelamento finalizzato all’utilizzo futuro.
The international scientific literature is reporting that there have been successfully performed transplants on humans, using stem cells from cord blood stored for a period of 16 years. A recent study on animal models has shown that stem cells, preserved in nitrogen, retain their vitality for 23.5 years.
Bioscience Institute offers the possibility to extend the contract, only on the basis of the scientific evidence demonstrated each time, continuing to pay the annual fee.
