What is Stem Cell Banking
Understanding the science and process behind preserving your baby's most valuable cells
What Are Stem Cells
Stem cells are unique cells that have the remarkable ability to develop into many different cell types in the body. These powerful cells can transform into blood cells, immune cells, and other vital tissues.
What is Cord Blood
Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born. This cord blood contains valuable stem cells that are genetically unique to your baby.
What is Cord Tissue Banking
Cord tissue banking involves preserving the actual tissue of the umbilical cord, which contains mesenchymal stem cells that show promise in regenerative medicine.
How Stem Cells Help in Medical Treatments
Stem cell banking provides access to powerful cells that can treat over 80 medical conditions including blood disorders, immune system diseases, and certain cancers.

How the Stem Cell Banking Process Works
Step 1: Registration Before Delivery
Parents should ideally register for stem cell banking during pregnancy, preferably before the third trimester. Early registration ensures the collection kit is ready at the hospital during delivery.
Step 2: Cord Blood Collection at Birth
After the baby is delivered and the umbilical cord is clamped and cut, our trained medical professionals collect the cord blood using sterile collection procedures.
Collection of Umbilical Cord Blood
The collection process is completely safe and painless for both mother and baby. Blood is collected from the umbilical cord vein using a sterile collection bag, taking approximately 5-10 minutes.
Step 3: Transportation to Processing Lab
The collected cord blood is immediately placed in a temperature-controlled medical courier kit and transported to our ISO-certified laboratory within 24-48 hours.
Temperature Controlled Transportation
Our specialized transport kits maintain optimal temperature throughout the journey to ensure stem cell viability during transit to the processing facility.
Step 4: Stem Cell Processing and Testing
At our advanced laboratory, the cord blood undergoes comprehensive processing and testing to ensure the highest quality standards for long-term preservation.
Stem Cell Isolation Process
Our laboratory technicians use advanced techniques to isolate and concentrate the valuable stem cells from the cord blood sample.
CD34+ Stem Cell Count Testing
We perform CD34+ cell count testing to determine the number of viable stem cells in your baby's cord blood sample, ensuring optimal therapeutic potential.
Microbial Contamination Testing
Comprehensive microbial testing ensures the cord blood sample is free from bacterial, viral, and fungal contamination before storage.
Cell Viability and Sterility Testing
We conduct thorough viability and sterility tests to confirm that the stem cells maintain their therapeutic potential and are safe for future use.
Quality Testing and Cell Viability
Each sample undergoes rigorous quality control testing including cell count, viability assessment, and sterility testing to ensure the highest standards.
Step 5: Cryogenic Storage for Long-Term Preservation
After processing and testing, the stem cells are prepared for long-term cryogenic storage using advanced preservation technology.
Advanced Cryogenic Storage Technology
Your baby's stem cells are stored in state-of-the-art cryogenic storage systems that maintain optimal conditions for decades.
Liquid Nitrogen Storage at -196°C
Stem cells are preserved in liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures of -196°C, which effectively stops all biological activity and maintains cell viability.
Long-Term Cryopreservation Monitoring
Our facility features 24/7 monitoring systems, backup power supplies, and automated alarm systems to ensure continuous optimal storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Stem Cell Banking
Get answers to the most common questions about cord blood banking and stem cell preservation
Stem cell banking is the process of collecting and storing stem cells from a newborn's umbilical cord blood at birth. These stem cells are preserved using advanced cryogenic technology so they may potentially be used in future medical treatments.
Parents consider stem cell banking because stem cells have the potential to treat several serious diseases. Storing stem cells at birth provides a perfect genetic match for the baby and may also benefit siblings or family members if needed.
Yes, stem cell collection from the umbilical cord is completely safe and painless. The procedure is performed after the baby is delivered and the umbilical cord is cut, so it does not affect the mother or the newborn.
Stem cells are currently used in the treatment of more than 80 diseases, including leukemia, lymphoma, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, immune disorders, and certain metabolic diseases. Research is also exploring additional future treatments.
Private cord blood banking allows parents to store their baby's stem cells exclusively for their family's future use. Public cord blood banking involves donating the stem cells to a public registry, where they may be used by anyone who needs a matching donor for medical treatment.
Stem cells can be preserved for long periods using advanced cryogenic storage technology. They are stored in liquid nitrogen at extremely low temperatures of around −196°C, which helps maintain their viability for decades. Cryovault offers stem cell storage plans for up to 75 years, ensuring long-term preservation for potential future medical use.
The stored stem cells are a 100% genetic match for the baby. In some cases, they may also be a suitable match for siblings or other family members depending on genetic compatibility.
