Fresh vs Frozen Cells
Fresh cells are used shortly after preparation. Frozen (cryopreserved) cells are stored at ultra-low temperatures and thawed before use. Both can be appropriate. What matters is documented viability at the time of administration and a transparent cold chain.
When patients commonly ask about this
When this is discussed
- Patients comparing clinic offers
- Patients traveling for consultation
What to ask the clinic
- Is the product fresh or thawed?
- What is the viability after thawing?
- What is the cold chain documentation?
Lab quality checklist for this option
The same quality questions apply to every case — apply them here too.
- Viability at time of use
- Cold chain temperature logs
- Thaw protocol documented
Before you book
- Step 1Confirm viability is independently verified
- Step 2Confirm storage and transport documentation
