Fresh vs Frozen Cells

Whether stem cells are delivered fresh, fresh-thawed from frozen, or used directly after cryopreservation affects viability and lab handling expectations.

Where it comes from

Fresh cells are prepared close to the delivery time. Cryopreserved cells are stored frozen and thawed before use. Each route has different handling requirements.

Why patients ask about it

Storage, transport, and timing can affect cell viability. Patients should be told clearly which type they are receiving and what the documented viability is.

Safety questions that matter

  • Cold-chain transport documentation
  • Viability percentage at time of delivery
  • Time window between thawing and use
  • Lab record of preparation timeline

What to ask before booking

  • Will I receive fresh or thawed cells?
  • What is the documented viability?
  • How long between preparation and delivery?
  • What cold-chain records exist?
