Cord Blood Banking
Your newborn’s umbilical cord contains powerful stem cells that can be used in life-saving transplants. These stem cells can be used to treat over 80 different diseases, including cancer, blood disorders, and immune system disorders. Banking your baby's cord blood gives your child a chance to receive life-saving treatment from the very stem cells that helped your newborn develop during pregnancy. These stem cells may also be a match to treat your baby's siblings, biological parents, and other close relatives. Your newborn stem cells can only be collected and preserved immediately after birth.

Cord Tissue Banking
Your baby's cord tissue contains different types of stem cells than those found in the cord blood. Within cord tissue are the powerful mesenchymal stem cells which have the ability to heal, repair, and regenerate muscle, bones, cartilage, skin and the tissue parts of our internal organs.
Banking your baby's cord tissue provides extra protection for their future health. Unlike cord blood, cord tissue does not require HLA matching, therefore, it can be used in transplant by your baby's immediate biological family.
Compare Cord Blood vs. Cord Tissue
Stem cells from cord tissue have over 500 active clinical trials for a potential treatment for different diseases.
