 | | YOU HAVE A CHOICE A major argument is currently raging about whether cord blood stem cells should be stored in private banks for the sole use of the donor or at their discretion, or whether the sample should be donated to a public bank, where the sample would be available to everyone in need. With Cryo-Save you now have a choice*; saving the precious stem cells of your newborn child privately or enrolling them in our so-called Controlled Sharing Programme (CSP), a hybrid system of saving cord blood stem cells. In both situations you stay in control and keep ownership of the stored stem cells.
* Please check with one of our customer representatives (01-617 7931), if the CSP is available in your country already. |
FOR PRIVATE AND/OR FAMILY USE
| Cryo-Save originally offered one storage service only. This is our private /family cord blood storage service, CryoCord. The main advantage for storing cord blood privately is that the donors retain control of the sample and are able to use their own sample, should they need it. Their cells are autologous, which means there is hardly any risk of rejection.
Cryo-Save is one of the very few companies making the effort
| | to both separate the white blood cell fraction containing the stem cells and split the product and storing it at two physically separated locations. Both steps are extremely important from an efficiency and safety perspective.
All samples are tested for infections, whether bacterial or viral, using a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) diagnostic.
