Storing the cord blood after birth with a private cord blood bank means that it is only for your baby and your family’s future use. The cord blood sample is cryopreserved in a private storage lab and will only be released for use according to your instructions.
At Cells4Life, we preserve your baby’s cord blood in multiple subdivisions so that you can use just a part of the sample as required for transplant and keep the remaining in storage until needed. We also provide the option to keep them in two separate storage labs for more security.
