Pedigreed Donor Database•We know our donors
Recall donors / repeat collections•They are qualified and tested each donation
Qualification, serological and infectious testing performed •We can recruit donors for specific investigator needs
Age, gender, height, weight, ethnicity Medical history – vaccinations, diet, family history Lifestyle characteristics HLA type, other specific laboratory test results Other specific parameters
All donors are qualified per FDA regulations and IRB-approved informed consent.

In Conclusion…In Conclusion…• Collecting blood-based cellular products in a manner that minimizes variability
brings a higher degree of reproducibility to the research project or manufacturing effort
• Quality-based controls such as standardized SOPs, staff training and competency assessments, equipment management, and monitoring of quality indicators reduce this variability
• Relationships with other best in class organizations allows for consistent product development and collaborations focused in improving the cell manufacturing process.
• Use of cGMP, serum-free, protein-free biopreservation media such as HypoThermosol and CryoStor shows great promise to enable worldwide shipment of fresh or frozen cellular products, extending shelf-life of cell therapy products.
• HemaCare has the knowledge, experience, and capability to provide total apheresis, room temperature to cold chain, and cryopreservation and storage solution
• Complete in-house control of the entire process from collection to final destination
• Just-in-time delivery of viable, high quality apheresis materials to any location globally
• The only supplier with true, validated, global reach
