We are proud of our East Norriton StemExpress Collection Center team. The three-person team runs our collection center like a well-oiled machine. Day in and day out they do their part in accelerating research by taking great care in our donors, center, and getting research products shipped to researchers across the globe that are active in treating and curing disease. We asked the team why they chose to work from StemExpress, and here is what they had to say:  FOR KIRK, IT’S…

Advice to our Donors We asked our StemExpress staff “what advice would you give to our donors?” and were shocked to see most of our staff answered the same way. Most of them said DRINK MORE WATER. Why is that important? About half of your blood is made up of water so it’s very important to hydrate before and after your donation. It is suggested to drink about 16 ounces of water within two hours of blood donation and to avoid drinking caffeinated…

Our top priority every day is ensuring the safety and privacy of our donors.  Secondly, it is to deliver a quality product to scientists around the globe based on their requests for specific products to meet their research needs.  Those requests lead to our collection centers scheduling specific donors for certain projects.  Research projects have criteria for the samples we collect based on the requirements of their study.

In areas that are “shelter-in-place” or ordered to “stay at home,” we are still open and able to accept donors into our facilities and donors are able by law to travel to and from our facilities. Below is our Essential Business Status – Critical Infrastructure Verification and Donor Authorization Travel form.

As our daily norms continue to change due to the COVID-19 virus the overall messaging that we must all do our part to keep ourselves and each other safe remains the same. Only essential businesses are permitted to remain open. Similar to a hospital, grocery store, or pharmacy, donating blood is essential to ensure the health of our communities.

The work we do here at StemExpress is considered essential and therefore we will remain open at all of our locations throughout the United States.
