ThermoGenesis makes blood run cold...really cold. The firm makes equipment that harvests, freezes, and thaws stem cells and other blood components taken from adult sources like umbilical cord blood, placentas, and bone marrow. Its core products include the AutoXpress System (AXP), a medical device that retrieves stem cells from cord blood; and the BioArchive System, which freezes and stores stem cells harvested from such blood. Other products include Res-Q, which processes stems cells from bone marrow, and the plasma storage product ThermoLine. Founded in 1986, the company sells its products to cord blood banks, stem cell researchers, and clinical laboratories around the world.
