Human Application Licence
In February this year the UK Human Tissue Authority further awarded WideCells Ltd a Human
Application Licence. This licence permits the company to import, export, process, store and
distribute for treatment, umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue from the UK and Europe in its
Manchester facilities. The licence now enables the company, under the BabyCells brand name, to
offer umbilical cord blood and tissue storage services to clients in the UK and Europe. BabyCells will
be charged at a cost of circa £2,000 to £2,500 per sample for one year's storage (including collection

multi-year pre-paid storage plans. Clients of BabyCells will be offered one year's stem cell insurance
