Your Baby’s Cord Blood Can Save Lives.
Cord blood stem cells are already used in 80+ life-saving treatments. And this is just the beginning.
Cord blood banking is the process of collecting, processing, and cryogenically storing stem cells from a newborn’s umbilical cord blood for potential future medical use. These hematopoietic stem cells can regenerate healthy blood and immune systems and are currently used in transplants to treat over 80 conditions, including leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell disease, and other blood disorders.
From leukemia to sickle cell disease, cord blood transplants have helped rebuild healthy blood and immune systems for thousands of families worldwide.
Thousands of clinical trials are exploring breakthroughs for cerebral palsy, diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Banking today gives your child access to tomorrow’s cures.

The Future We Banked On: Real Stories of Healing and Hope
Jamie, mom of two
In 2018, Jamie’s beautiful boy received an intravenous cord blood infusion at Duke University Hospital to treat his autism. One year later, his mother says he has noticeably improved. “If, on an effort scale of 1 to 10, we spent 8 managing his autism before the stem cells, we now spend less than 3,” says Jamie. “To us that’s really something and it’s enough to have made a decision we took 10 years ago, totally worth it. “The way I saw it, the cost was less than £100 per year over 20 years and may be the equivalent of taking just one less family vacation in that whole time.
Shilpa Shetty, mom of two
In 2016, Cells4Life helped little Jay Shetty and his family raise funds so that he could travel to Duke University and take part in a pioneering cord blood clinical trial for cerebral palsy. Jay had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy after a traumatic birth and after researching potential treatment options, his parents came across umbilical cord blood banking. When Jay’s mother, Shilpa, fell pregnant with his little brother, they stored his umbilical cord blood with Cells4Life to give Jay access to a cord blood therapy. Treatment was a simple injection of his brother’s cord blood but gave fresh hope to the Shetty family. “His muscle rigidity has reduced and his vision’s improved,” says Shilpa. “We have definitely noticed a difference.”

What to Look for in a Cord Blood Bank
When choosing a cord blood bank, the most important factors are:
- The number of stem cells recovered and stored (more cells means more treatment options)
- Laboratory accreditations (look for FDA registration and AABB accreditation)
- The range of tissues banked (cord blood, cord tissue, and placental tissue each contain different stem cell types)
- Compatibility with delayed cord clamping
- 24/7 collection availability.
Cells4Life is the only cord blood bank in the US to offer all of these, plus our patented CellsPlus™ technology that recovers 3x more stem cells than standard processing methods.
Frequently Asked Questions About Cord Blood Banking
What is cord blood banking?
Cord blood banking is the collection and long-term storage of blood from a newborn’s umbilical cord, which is rich in hematopoietic stem cells. These stem cells can be used in transplants to treat over 80 medical conditions and are being studied in thousands of clinical trials for conditions including cerebral palsy, autism, diabetes, and heart disease. The collection is painless and takes place immediately after birth.
How much does cord blood banking cost?
Cord blood banking typically involves a one-time collection and processing fee plus an annual storage fee. Cells4Life offers multiple plans to suit different family needs and budgets, starting with cord blood only and expanding to comprehensive packages that include cord tissue, placental tissue, and maternal stem cells. Contact us for a personalized quote or download our free info kit for full pricing details.
Can I bank cord blood with delayed cord clamping?
Yes. Cells4Life’s cord blood banking process is fully compatible with delayed cord clamping. Our CellsPlus™ technology is specifically designed to maximize stem cell recovery even from smaller collection volumes, making it the ideal choice for families who want both delayed clamping and cord blood banking
How long can cord blood be stored?
When properly cryopreserved at liquid nitrogen temperatures (-196°C), cord blood stem cells can be stored indefinitely. Published research has confirmed that stem cells remain viable and effective after more than 25 years of storage, with no evidence of degradation over time.
What is the difference between cord blood and cord tissue banking?
Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that build blood and immune systems, currently used in transplants for 80+ conditions. Cord tissue contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a different type with the potential to develop into bone, cartilage, muscle, and organ cells. Banking both gives your family access to a broader range of current and future therapies.
Why does Cells4Life store 3x more stem cells?
Cells4Life’s patented CellsPlus™ processing technology, powered by TotiCyte™, retains three times more stem cells compared to standard processing methods used by other cord blood banks. More stem cells at the point of treatment means more potential therapies and significantly better chances of successful outcomes. CellsPlus™ is exclusively available through Cells4Life.
