Buccal Swab Sample  

  • A quick and simple process, where a cotton swab is rubbed inside your cheek. It is later processed to determine your genetic typing.
Donate  
  • In case of a successful genetic match, stem cells are obtained from you (donor) and injected into the patient’s blood stream.
  what does datri do
 
Collect samples  
  • Buccal Cells - A cotton swab is rubbed inside your cheek.
Process the Samples to analyze the DNA  
  • Once a sample is collected, it is processed in a state-of-the-art lab at Histogenetics, a partner of DATRI.
  • HLA typing is done and a unique code is assigned to every sample.
Database  
  • The Genetic information of an individual obtained after thorough analysis is stored in DATRI’s database.
Search for a match  
  • The patient’s tissue typing (genetic information) needs to match very closely with that of the donor, to enable a successful transplant.
Transplant Process  
  • DONOR: Once a match is found, stem cells are obtained from the donor. The process is usually as simple as drawing blood.
  • PATIENT: The stem cells are then infused into the patient’s blood stream.
