BioEden is regulated by the relevant supervisory agency of each country we operate in. In the UK this is the Human Tissue Authority (HTA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US. We comply with all regulatory, safety and data requirements that ensure the quality and safety of your material and data privacy.

Our laboratory is within a high protection building with 24 hour security personnel. As soon as we receive your tooth cell storage order, we allocate you with a unique customer reference number also featuring your child’s name and date of birth.

Once samples are processed they are placed within our secure storage facility. The limited number of employees with storage access are highly trained and only selected individuals have access to customer samples.  The building, room and physical storage container all have further security and restricted access.

The material we store is kept in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen.  This maintains the material at -196°C at all times and does not depend on electricity.  A power cut or interruption of electricity supply would therefore not affectthe safety or quality of the stored material.

Finally all customer data is securely protected and no details are ever released without the owner’s permission.

BioEden has been operating successfully since 2006. We operate in 20 countries and have banked customer stem cells from over 60 countries worldwide.

This is why we have put measures in place to create a protection scheme that will guarantee the long-term storage of your child’s sample, even if at some point BioEden ceased to exist.
