A large scale storage system of viable somatic stem and/or progenitor cells for use in a method of treatment of a disease or a disorder of a patient is described. The storage system includes a large number of solid supports having cryopreserved/frozen viable somatic stem and/or progenitor cells from patients, and, preoperative information of the patients from which the cells have been taken. A product which includes viable somatic stem and/or progenitor cells combined with preoperative information of the patient from which the somatic stem and/or progenitor cells have been taken is described. The viable somatic stem and/or progenitor cells stored in the described system are useful in treatment of a disease or a disorder.
