- Both are donor-derived (allogeneic) MSC sources.
- Quality depends entirely on the donor program and processing lab.
- A Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the lot is non-negotiable.
- Surface marker verification distinguishes true MSCs from other cells.
Umbilical cord-derived MSCs and Wharton's Jelly MSCs are commonly discussed in regenerative wellness consultation. The conversation should always start with documentation.
What is being delivered
Umbilical cord MSCs come from screened cord tissue donations. Wharton's Jelly MSCs come specifically from the gelatinous substance inside the umbilical cord. Both are evaluated for surface markers such as CD73, CD90, CD105 positive and CD45 negative.
What documentation to expect
Donor pathogen screening (HIV, HBV, HCV, syphilis, CMV), sterility, mycoplasma, endotoxin, viability percentage at administration, passage number, and storage temperature logs.
Before any consultation, always ask for the cell source, cell type, viability percentage, sterility result, pathogen screening, marker verification, storage chain, and confirmation of doctor-led suitability review.
