FACT (Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy) was founded in 1996 by its two parent organizations, the American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) and the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT). Its goal is to develop and promote new clinical and laboratory methods of cell therapy and regenerative medicine through both the implementation of high laboratory standards and the voluntary inspection and accreditation program of FACT contractor units.

The FACT-NetCord Accreditation Program aims to improve the quality and safety of the collection, processing, control, distribution and management of blood and its derivatives, as well as evaluating the quality of operating systems within the unit.

With the aim of optimizing the quality of our services, our exclusively collaborating laboratory is in the process of obtaining this certification.
