Use the list below to help set your fundraising target and encourage people to donate more to your fundraising total:
£2.25 is the cost of extracting DNA from a potentially lifesaving donor’s saliva sample.
£6 is the cost of an ice pack used to keep blood stem cells cool when delivering them from a donor to a patient for a potentially lifesaving transplant.
£7 is the cost of the ‘spit kit’ used for taking a potential donor’s saliva sample for tissue-typing – the first stage of joining the Anthony Nolan register.
£17 is the cost of a special box used for transporting donated stem cells from a donor to a patient for a potentially lifesaving transplant.
£20 is the difference between high and intermediate resolution tissue typing of a potential donor’s sample. High resolution typing results in many more matches for potentially lifesaving transplants.
£100 is the cost of recruiting, tissue typing and maintaining a new potential donor on the Anthony Nolan register.
£330 is the cost of the materials used to process a cord blood unit and adding it to the Anthony Nolan register to provide a potentially lifesaving transplant.
£580 is the average cost of testing and storing a cord blood unit to provide a potentially lifesaving transplant.
£500 is the average cost of flying out to Germany – one of the world’s largest registers – to collect stem cells for a patient in the UK.
£700 is the average cost of the specialist equipment, materials and staff to transport cord blood donations to our Cord Blood Bank in Nottingham.
£5,600 is the cost of a -70C freezer large enough to hold 75,000 of our potential donors’ samples which could be chosen for potentially lifesaving transplants.
£8,400 is the cost of running the LabXpress, our robotic system for tissue typing our potentially lifesaving donors’ samples, for one day
£17,500 is the average cost of a Thermalcycler, which is a piece of equipment that amplifies fragments of DNA to help determine if a donor’s stem cells are a potentially lifesaving match for a patient
