Beta-Pro Enters New Phase of Growth as It Helps Meet Global Demand for Human Islet Cells
Beta-Pro LLC, a biotechnology firm that provides diabetes researchers with custom cellular and consulting services, has entered a new phase of growth as it bridges the widening gap between an inconsistent, low quality supply of human pancreatic islets and skyrocketing demand.		  

Islets and tissue are derived from pancreata of multi-organ donors not placed for whole organ transplant.
Beta-Pro LLC does not charge for the tissue of human beings. The fees that Beta-Pro LLC charges are for the
services of organ procurement, processing, preservation, quality control, storage, handling and delivery of tissue and islets.

Beta-Pro (www.betaprollc.com) is dedicated to compliance with all existing federal, state, and institutional requirements pertaining to
the collection and use of cells. Strict procedures are in place to protect the privacy and confidentiality of all volunteer donors,
including coding procedures for cells and associated clinical information, so that a donor’s identity is inaccessible to Beta-Pro and researchers. 		© 2009 Beta-Pro LLC
