Singapore—Singapore has asked one of Asia’s largest stem cell bank providers to tighten supervision of its processes after improper handling ruined thousands of samples, an official said Wednesday.
The blood contained stem cells which could be used to treat blood diseases and some cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. Authorities previously found that 7,500 cord blood units were unusable for transplants because they were exposed to temperatures outside the acceptable limits of below minus 150 degrees centigrade.Cordlife filed a police report in April blaming former staff for “potential wrongdoing.”
“I sincerely apologize to all our clients and empathize with their disappointment and concerns over these lapses. We are diligently working on ways to minimize the impact on our clients,” Cordlife CEO Ivan Yiu said.
