“While pregnant with our first child, I learned that close relatives had stored their daughter’s cord blood, so I also decided that this was a small price to pay for peace of mind in the event of a future medical need for stem cells. Education about cord blood storage is a must, so I am campaigning to get obstetricians and midwives to give patients information early in their pregnancy. It’s a shame to miss this opportunity.”

For Families
The Collection Process
Collection is simple and pain-free for both mother and baby. After your baby is born, your physician will clamp and cut the umbilical cord and insert a needle into the umbilical cord vein. Using gravity, the cord blood will flow into the sterile collection bag. Total collection time is usually about three to five minutes and can be done in the case of either natural or Caesarean birth.
Following instructions included in the kit, your physician will seal and pack the collected cord blood, and return the kit to you or a designated family member or friend. Call our courier immediately for expedited pickup.
Remember, each delivery is different, and your health and the health of your baby are the most important considerations. For whatever reason, it may happen that your physician is unable to collect your child’s cord blood. In that case, we will refund any payments (excepting the enrollment fee).
