How Does Cord Blood Banking Work?
1
Hello, Baby!
Your baby is born with the umbilical cord attached, the cord will be clamped and cut so the baby can be cleaned and cared for.
2
Collection
Your doctor or midwife draws cord blood from the clamped cord into a special collection bag.
3
Transportation
When the collection kit is ready, our courier picks it up and expedites the delivery to our lab.
4
Lab Processing
Our manual testing and processing is customized to your delivery. We optimize the amount of stem cell product stored based on your specific cord blood collection.
5
Storage
We store the stem cells in specially designed 5-compartment bags, giving families the option of multiple therapies from a single cord blood collection.
6
Preserving
The cord blood stem cells will be preserved in a liquid nitrogen storage tank (-196° C) inside our secure lab facility.
There's More to Saving Stem Cells Than Just Cord Blood Banking
While saving cord blood gives your child immediate access to FDA-approved treatment opportunities for close to 100 medical conditions (including leukemia and lymphomas), umbilical cord tissue banking and placental tissue banking have shown promise in advanced clinical trials for the treatment of a wide range of conditions, including: brain and spinal cord injuries, Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart conditions, and even some neurological disorders such as autism.
