Cord Blood

What are cord blood stem cells?

Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells, a type of multipotent cell that can develop into every type of blood and immune cell in your body.

01

Your baby is born with them

The blood left in your baby's umbilical cord after birth is rich with stem cells — the same type used in bone marrow transplants for decades. They build your baby's entire blood and immune system.

02

They can rebuild what's broken

Every red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet traces back to these stem cells. When someone fights leukemia, sickle cell disease, or an immune deficiency, a transplant can regenerate their entire blood and immune system.

03

Younger, stronger, unexposed

Collected at the moment of birth, cord blood stem cells have had zero exposure to environmental toxins, illness, or aging. They're a biological snapshot of your child's health at its purest.

04

Protection for the whole family

A perfect HLA match for your baby, a 25% chance of a perfect match for each sibling, and because cord blood requires less strict HLA matching than bone marrow, partially matched units can benefit parents and extended family too.
