BioE (www.bioe.com) is a biomedical company that provides enabling human cord blood stem cell tools and technologies.

The company’s PrepaCyte®-CB Umbilical Cord Blood Processing System easily and efficiently separates white blood cells — including stem cells — from cord blood prior to banking with sophisticated simplicity. Its negative selection process separates the cells without use of additional capital equipment. A multi-center trial comparing PrepaCyte-CB against hetastarch methods showed a statistically significant improvement in TNC and WBC recovery while depleting nearly 99% of the red cells. In addition, considerable time savings is achieved in batch processing with PrepaCyte-CB.
