Cellaviva offers
Two ways to collect your baby’s stem cells
Collection takes place after the cord has been clamped and cut, with no impact on delivery.
You can choose how the collection is carried out, either with assistance from Cellaviva personnel or by your partner or chosen support person. Both options are safe, simple, and compatible with your birth plan.
Two options. One simple process.
Choose how the stem cell collection is performed
In Sweden, we offer two safe and flexible ways to collect your baby’s stem cells, depending on how much hands-on support you prefer during birth.
Both options include full laboratory coordination, 24/7 support, and clear guidance throughout the process.
Birth is unpredictable, your collection plan should feel simple, secure, and easy to manage.
— Option 01
With assistance from Cellaviva personnel
Our trained midwives, nurses, and assistant nurses handle the collection for you. When labour begins, you contact us and a trained stem cell collector is assigned to you and prepares to come to your place of birth.
We handle the stem cell collection, documentation, and handover, so you can stay fully present in the moment, knowing everything is taken care of.
Cellaviva personnel are available at many maternity units across Sweden. See whether the service is available at your planned place of birth.
— Option 02
By your partner or chosen support person
The collection is performed by your partner or another support person of your choice, using the instructions provided in the collection kit.
In some cases, hospital staff or your care team may also choose to assist, depending on the situation. The process is designed to be simple and clearly guided, so you can feel confident performing it if needed.
We make sure you are well prepared, regardless of who performs the collection.
Our 24/7 phone support from trained medical professionals is always available, guiding you step by step if questions arise.
Once the collection is completed, we arrange medical courier transport to the laboratory.
Designed to be simple and safe — even if plans change.
The same laboratory quality, regardless of how you collect
No matter which collection option you choose, the way your sample is handled and evaluated remains the same.
All material is carefully received, assessed, and processed according to strict medical and laboratory standards. Only samples that meet the required criteria are prepared for long-term storage.
This ensures consistent quality, full traceability, and confidence in what is preserved, regardless of how the collection is performed.
