About Cord Blood Banking
Cord blood banking is the collection, processing, and storage of the stem cells found in the umbilical cord of newborn babies. When you bank your baby’s cord blood with a private bank like CordBancUSA™, you preserve it for possible future use in medical treatments.
Stem cells from cord blood have been used to treat more than 70 different diseases. Current medical research may expand that number, as millions of dollars are spent each year on research toward further breakthroughs.
Cord blood can be collected for banking only at the time of birth. It must then be processed within 36 to 48 hours. After processing, it is stored in liquid nitrogen at -196°C. To date, stem cells have proven viable for transplantation after 15 years of cryopreservation. They are likely to remain viable much longer than that, and a number of experts believe that the cells can be preserved indefinitely because the freezing process suspends their molecular state.
