About

The laboratory behind the vial.

Golden Vial is delivered by ReeLabs — India’s first integrated stem cell company, and the holder of the patents the protocol is built on.

Who we are

Two decades of one subject.

ReeLabs has spent the past two decades establishing itself as a recognised authority in stem cells. It is India’s first integrated stem cell company and a member of the Indian Society of Regenerative Science, and it remains the only company in the country able to isolate and bank stem cells from ten different biological sources — including the amniotic sac, amniotic fluid and placenta, alongside cord blood and cord tissue.

That range is not a catalogue exercise. The Golden Vial protocol exists because the same laboratory that learned to isolate, characterise and store these cells also learned what they signal, and built a preparation around it. The patents on this work are granted in the United States, Europe and India.

Our scientists are invited as keynote speakers at international conferences. Our clinicians and researchers work on fundamental questions in the field rather than on a product line, and the North American arm, ReeLabs Inc, operates from Tysons, Virginia.
