Specialized apheresis for white blood cell reduction and stem cell harvesting by board-certified specialists.

These procedures are critical in hematologic emergencies, transplant preparation, and the management of myeloproliferative disorders.
At Global Apheresis, all cytoreduction and stem cell collection procedures are performed by board-certified physicians with specialized training in therapeutic apheresis, using advanced apheresis equipment that allows precise cellular separation and collection.
Selective removal of excess white blood cells in patients with elevated WBC counts. Global Apheresis offers leukapheresis on an outpatient basis for select non-emergency indications, providing a targeted approach to white blood cell reduction outside of the acute hospital setting.
Global Apheresis has the clinical infrastructure to support peripheral blood stem cell collection and is actively developing partnerships with transplant programs and biotech companies. Contact us to discuss potential collaboration.
Cytoreduction refers to the therapeutic reduction of specific blood cell populations — such as white blood cells or platelets — when they are dangerously elevated. Apheresis-based cytoreduction is often faster and more targeted than medication alone, making it critical in acute situations.
After stem cells are mobilized into the peripheral blood using growth factors, the patient undergoes apheresis. The machine draws blood, selectively collects the stem cells (identified by CD34+ markers), and returns all other blood components. The process typically takes 3–5 hours and may require one or more sessions.
Yes. While TPE exchanges the liquid portion of blood (plasma), cytoreduction and stem cell collection target specific cellular components — white blood cells, platelets, or stem cells. Both procedures use apheresis technology but serve different clinical purposes.
These specialized apheresis procedures are typically indicated for patients with specific hematologic or infectious conditions, or those preparing for stem cell transplantation. If you or your physician believe one of these procedures may be appropriate for your situation, we welcome you to reach out directly for a discovery call — no referral required.
