Normal blood components are provided on a fee for service basis. Cord blood and bone marrow are both available. Purified CD34 cells are also available. Other fractionations are available by arrangement.

In order to obtain normal blood components, please complete a Stem Cell Core Registration form (hyperlink) and e-mail it to Qing Xu (e-mail address/hyperlink). Forms without appropriate contact information and billing information will not be processed. Next, complete a Cell Requisition form and e-mail it to Qing (e-mail and hyper-link again). If you want frozen cells, they can usually be provided on the same day. For fresh cells, it will depend on the size of your request and how busy we are. Please call Qing to arrange to get cells after you have completed the forms above.
