Cord Blood 2.0®
with Cord Blood 2.0® processing
Collect up to 2x as many cord blood stem cells as the industry average for more treatment opportunities.
Cord blood stem cells can be used to treat close to 100 conditions, including leukemias, lymphomas, and anemias – and advanced clinical trials are seeking treatments for dozens more, including autism, cerebral palsy, and diabetes. The full treatment potential of these powerful stem cells is not yet known.
With our proprietary Cord Blood 2.0® processing method, more of these valuable stem cells can be safely, effectively stored, giving doctors more treatment options. By storing up to 2x as many stem cells as the industry-average process, children can be treated into adolescence and even adulthood, and the opportunity of multiple treatments is also possible. This method is only available with Americord.
Cord Tissue
with CryoMaxx™ processing
A second type of stem cell with even wider treatment potential. These cells represent the future of medical practice.
The umbilical cord tissue contains important growth factors, cytokines, and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These cord-derived MSCs are being studied in 100’s of clinical trials for illnesses such as autism, arthritis, diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and multiple sclerosis. There are also many new clinical surgical applications for cryopreserved umbilical cord tissue containing cells.
Some blood banks focus only on the MSCs and pre-process them prior to cryopreservation, limiting future treatment options. Americord’s CryoMaxx™ processing method unlocks the full potential of umbilical cord tissue by preserving the tissue’s inherent multipotent cells, growth factors, and cytokines. This method creates a versatile tissue for future use and gives families the flexibility of using the cord-derived MSCs for therapeutic applications or cord tissue containing MSCs for surgical applications for your baby, siblings, parents, and grandparents.
Placental Tissue
with CryoMaxx™ processing
The new, purposeful way to process placental tissue – ensuring the potential for multiple treatment uses for baby, siblings, parents, and even grandparents.
Americord’s unique proprietary CryoMaxx™ processing method uses a minimal manipulation method to isolate the amnion and chorion layers of the placental tissue and retain their inherent multipotent cells, growth factors, and cytokines.
The amnion and chorion are cryopreserved and stored in multiple vials, ensuring the potential for multiple uses for your baby, siblings, parents, or grandparents. This processing method creates a versatile tissue and gives families the flexibility to use therapeutic, wound, and ocular applications. And the potential is even more exciting than the current uses. These stem cells are in trials to establish new treatments for conditions cancers, organ failure, heart conditions, neurological dysfunction, and injuries to joints and the spine.
Exosomes
with CryoMaxx™ processing
Isolate and preserve your baby’s cord blood exosomes with CryoMaxx™ Processing and unlock their potential usage in clinical research and future treatments.
Decades of research have yielded evidence for the role of exosomes in intercellular communication. In fact, pre-clinical research has shown that exosomes may regulate immune responses, wound healing, and cell growth & development.
When you isolate and preserve your baby’s cord blood exosomes with CryoMaxx™ Processing, you are unlocking their potential usage in clinical research and future treatments.
Welcome to Americord®
Americord® is a leader in the advancement of umbilical cord blood, cord tissue, placental tissue, and exosome banking. As a private bank, Americord® collects, processes, and stores stem cells for future medical or therapeutic use by the family who saves them.
Why Should You Bank Cord Blood?
Stem cells are found in cord blood, cord tissue, and placental tissue. These cells are highly valuable to baby, mom, and possibly other family members. When you save these stem cells with Americord, you ensure that they are securely stored for you and your family’s future needs.
