Why does StemCord choose to store in Two Bags, Two Locations?

Thawing and refreezing of Cord Blood and Cord Stem Cells will significantly reduce its viability, that is why StemCord takes the extra step to store your child’s Cord Blood and Cord Stem Cells into two separate bags.

This offers clients the flexibility to use the stem cells more than once, thus maximising the potential for multiple treatments.

StemCord separately stores your child’s Cord Blood in two separate locations, for added security and protection against fires, natural disasters and any potential dangers.

Our two storage locations are fitted with environmental monitoring systems and are monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Going the Extra Mile for Your Future

StemCord takes an extra step in culturing stem cells prior to storage to ensure the harvest of quality stem cells. Research has shown that cells extracted from thawed frozen cord tissues exhibited poorer cell recoveries, decreased efficiency, and slower growth characteristics1.

Here’s why it matters..

While many Cord Blood Banks choose to store the umbilical cord as a whole or in segments, research has shown that culturing the stem cells before storage increases cell yield 8x more2 than the cells yielded from segmented frozen tissues.

Introducing StemCord CultureFIRST:
Increasing Stem Cell Yield

StemCord CultureFIRST Advantages

Higher Cell Count
Research has shown that culturing first from a fresh cord before storage, gives 8x more cells yield.

Readily Available for Treatment
With StemCord’s CultureFIRST process, you can be assured your Cord Stem Cells are readily available as soon as they are needed. This differs from other banks that choose to store whole or chopped Cord Tissues without extracting the Stem Cells prior to storage.

Further Possibilities For Your Futures
These Cord Stem Cells can be further multiplied with a culturing process if the therapy (for certain conditions) requires larger doses of cord stem cells.
