Cord Blood Banking with Americord
Cord blood banking is the safe, painless way to collect, process, and store your newborn’s umbilical cord stem cells. After your baby is born, whether you choose delayed cord clamping or not, there's always leftover blood in the umbilical cord. This is cord blood.
We've consistently set the highest industry standards through scientific innovation, exceptional customer service, and complete transparency. The result is best-in-class stem cell banking that's more personalized and more human.
Cord Blood Storage & Processing
Our proprietary 5-compartment storage bag is designed to evenly distribute your baby's cord blood stem cells. This innovative method provides greater flexibility, allowing for the precise number of stem cells to be used for a specific treatment, and offering more options for multiple future treatments.
Americord’s CryoMaxx™ Cord Blood Processing maximizes the potential of your baby’s cord blood. This process, based on the Rubenstein method, manually isolates a higher yield of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) compared to automated processing. These HSCs are then combined with a cryoprotectant to safeguard them during controlled-rate freezing, ensuring their long-term viability for your family.
