HealthBaby is the only provider of the advanced BioArchive^® system. The system is also adopted by worldwide large blood banks and 90% cord blood banks in Europe, as well as New York Blood Centre which performed most transplants worldwide. Other private cord blood bank are using the traditional vapor nitrogen storage system. According to research, cord blood stem cells will suspend all physiological activities and remain dormant¹⁹. On the contrary, reports show that vapor nitrogen and TWEs will reduce the stem cell viability by 20%²⁶.

To cater for different needs of parents, HealthBaby also provide MVE system plan, providing one more option to expectant parents. However, all storage plan are using the expensive liquid nitrogen (-196°C) as storage means.

Other cord blood bank's MVE vapor nitrogen storage system:

• Since the storage system is not closed, temperature fluctuation will cause TWEs upon every access of samples, seriously affect stem cells viability.
• The claim of stem cells being able to store permanently under -135℃ is false and without any proof.

HealthBaby uses the advanced AXP® II automated processing system that has received the FDA clearance, and complies with current good tissue practices (cGTP) and good manufacturing practices (GMP). Globally, the system has already processed over a million cord blood units to date. Designed to provide high-quality stem cell concentration from cord blood, the AXP® II system has demonstrated viable CD34+ stem cell recovery of more than 97%¹⁶ that is higher than most other known available systems. It is also a functionally closed processing system which ensures the sterility of the cord blood by eliminating exposure to air contaminants¹⁶. 

Since the success rate of transplantation is determined by stem cells' number and viability, therefore HealthBaby introduces AXP^® II to maximize the extract of most stem cells.

Processing system of other private cord blood bank:

• The claim of Sepax^® ability to extract 99.46% TNC lacks of objectivity since the data is from the cord blood bank's own experiment but not a objective third party. But according to the third parties, The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the largest Cord Blood Bank of U.S. (Cord Blood Registry), Sepax^® can only extracts 80.3% of TNC but not 99.46%. Beware amd do not be misled. In addition, only MNC but not TNC should be the transplant sample during transplantation²⁷.
• Not the only automatic cord blood processing system round the globe.
