"I banked blood for each of my 3 kids, and it's so nice to know that I have it."

Dr. Jitsen Chang

OB/GYN

"I felt like [cord blood banking] was one thing I could do as an insurance policy so that God forbid my child were to have a devastating diagnosis like leukemia or lymphoma and needed a transplant that they could get a transplant from themselves."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this all work?

After you purchase your collection kit, you’ll receive it in the mail within 5 business days. When you give birth, take your collection kit with you. Immediately after birth, your baby's umbilical cord is clamped and cut. A doctor or midwife draws cord blood from the clamped cord into a collection bag. Once you call the number on our collection kit or fill out the pickup form to alert our shipping team that you've given birth, a medical courier picks up the collection kit and speedily delivers it to a lab. Necessary testing and processing is carried out, and cord blood stem cells are stored in a liquid nitrogen storage tank within a lab facility.

How can I use the stem cells?

The umbilical cord is rich with powerful stem cells - hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) to be precise. Umbilical cord blood stem cells are FDA-approved to treat cancers, blood disorders, immune disorders, and metabolic disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, leukemia, and sickle cell anemia. After birth, you have access to a portal where you can view your stem cell certificate and contact us in the case you ever want to retrieve your stem cells. You would need to have a physician ready to receive the stem cells for treatment. We can get the stem cells to your designated physician shortly after you contact us.

What should I bank?

Banking your cord blood, cord tissue, and your placenta gives you the greatest quantity and variety of stem cells for future treatment possibilities.
Stem cells are the body's master cells, creating all tissues and organs. They can repair, restore, and regenerate cells and offer treatment possibilities for numerous medical conditions. These unique cells can develop into various cell types, from muscle to brain, and are the only type of cell in the body that has the natural ability to generate new cell types.
