Stem Cell Viability & Treatment

Learn why stem cell viability is crucial for effective treatment and how we ensure the highest quality standards.

The Importance of Stem Cell Viability

The Importance of Stem Cell Viability

Stem cell viability refers to the percentage of living, functional cells in a given dose. These are the cells that interact with your body’s immune system, release growth factors, and stimulate tissue repair.

Certain conditions, such as autoimmune disease or joint degeneration, require a robust number of active cells to produce results. Dead or non-functional cells provide no therapeutic value.

Ensuring High Viability

Ensuring High Viability

Verification of cell viability is not optional at SCTE — it is built into our clinical protocol. Every stem cell batch is tested using an automated digital cell counter immediately before administration.

Patients receive a printed certificate or real-time visual of their viability results, often showing numbers as high as 94% or above.

Industry Benchmarks — and Why We Surpass Them

Industry Benchmarks — and Why We Surpass Them

Most clinics rely on cryopreserved stem cells that can suffer from lower viability rates — often as low as 50–70%.

At SCTE, our approach is different: we use fresh, lab-expanded umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells, control the full chain of custody, and verify viability with certified digital cell counting tools at the time of application.

“They didn’t use enough stem cells, and the viability was not known.”
