Frequently Asked Questions

Why store your baby's cord blood?

Cord blood and cord tissue are rich in powerful stem cells and can only be collected at birth for potential future use.

Stem cells from cord blood can be used now for medical treatments, and there is an expanding range of new therapies being researched that may use cord blood and tissue in the future.

Your baby's stem cells are a perfect match for your child and can potentially be used by siblings and close family members.

Siblings have a much higher probability of a match than an unrelated donor.

How is cord blood and tissue collected?

Collection of cord blood and tissue is performed by a trained Cell Care collector, obstetrician or midwife.

Cord blood collection takes place after the birth of the baby once the cord has been clamped and cut. The cord blood is collected into a sterile collection bag. The procedure is non-invasive for both mother and baby and takes around three minutes. The cord tissue is collected after the delivery of the placenta.

Where is my baby’s cord blood and tissue stored?

Cell Care has its own state-of-the-art processing and storage facility in Victoria. The facility has continuous CCTV security monitoring, controlled swipe card access and back-to-base intrusion alarms monitored by an external security company 365 days a year. Critical areas have been temperature-mapped and are continuously monitored. A 12,000L bulk liquid nitrogen tank maintains supplies to each cryogenic storage vessel via vacuum insulated piping, ensuring that the cells have a continuous source of liquid nitrogen.

Does it matter which type of birth I have?

The method of delivery does not affect the process of cord blood and tissue collection. Once your baby has been delivered and the umbilical cord clamped and cut, the collection can take place.

If you are having a caesarean delivery, our collection pack is completely sterile and suitable for use in theatre.

How long can the stem cells be stored for?

Currently there is no use-by date for cord blood stem cells. Published results suggest that after 27 years of cryopreservation, cord blood stem cells maintain viability.46
