How are dental stem cells transported for storage?
The dentist places the sealed insulated metal shipping vessel into a Styrofoam holder within a rigid cardboard box provided by StemSave. The package is then transported via UPS next day air saver to the storage facility. Upon arrival at the storage facility, the labeling of the sample and the shipping container is verified to ensure that the tissue sample matches the correct donor. The sample is then assessed for cell viability. If the cells are viable, the tissue will be further processed and prepared for freezing.
