BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 24, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- StockMarketNewsAlert.com issues New Trade Alert for BioStem, Inc. (OTCBB:BTEM). According to M. D'Alonzo at First Equity Group Inc., recent news flow from the company has been very positive. "BioStem, Inc., plans to acquire Cryobanks International a corporation located in Altamonte Springs, Fl."
Cryobanks International, Inc. (CII), a pioneer in the field of cord blood processing and storage, announced today that it has finalized an agreement to license its proprietary technology in Bangkok, Thailand.
This agreement was entered into with the existing Cryobanks licensee in India. According to Dhara Jaipuria, Chairman of Cryobanks International India, "We are thrilled to be opening the third center in a third country bringing the most important service to another country. Cryobanks International continues to provide excellent guidance and insight as we implement our growth plans."
Ground breaking for the new lab and processing facility will commence immediately and completion is expected for late April or early May of 2007.
Cryobanks Thailand is the tenth licensing agreement signed by CII. There are facilities currently operating in Athens, Greece and New Delhi, India with construction underway at the United Arab Emirates location. Seven additional locations will open in India over the course of the next 36 months. Additionally, CII has more than 40 locations scheduled to open worldwide over the next few years.
Dwight Brunoehler, CEO and Founder of Cryobanks International, Inc., stated that, "It has become very clear to us over the past year that there is a great demand worldwide for this quality, highly credentialed technology. There is no reason that every country should not provide their citizens, who choose to, a means to store their child's umbilical cord blood processed by a facility which meets the highest credentials available -- Cryobanks Licensed affiliates."
About Cryobanks:
Cryobanks International is a corporation located in Altamonte Springs, Fl., which is to be acquired by BioStem, Inc. (OTCBB:BTEM). The Company is a leader in the collection, processing, and banking of stem cells derived from the umbilical cord immediately after birth. The units of cord blood (CB) are processed and stored by the company for use in unrelated transplants (where the donor is a histocompatible match, but is anonymous and unrelated to the recipient) and for personal storage and use. In recent years, cord blood transplants (CBTs) have become widely recognized as a safe, effective, and in many ways preferable alternative to bone marrow transplant (BMT). There is tremendous potential need for CBTs in the United States and worldwide. Cryobanks International is well poised to help meet that need, equipped with an inventory of over 9,000 cord blood units.
