At the birth of a child you have a unique opportunity to collect and store its cord blood for future medical use. We offer you collection, processing, cryopreservation and storage of your child's cord blood, all at a high technological level. Cord blood can be a “biological insurance” for your child. Why Store Your Child’s Cord Blood • Cord Blood saves lives - it is used in the treatment of many serious diseases. • Cord blood is collected at the beginning of life, stem cells are young and “clean”, not affected by any illnesses, drugs or aging. • Privately stored cord blood is reserved solely for the child it has been collected for. • Genetic identity - as it is the child’s own blood there is no risk of severe complications after use. • The likelihood of using your own hematopoietic cells during lifetime is 1:400.* • In the case of a match cord blood can help to treat a sibling. *Nietfeld at al., Biology of Blood and Marrow Transplantation, 14:316-322, (2008) |
