  1. Understanding the Cord Blood Stem Cells and Cord Blood Banking Cord blood banking in India is gaining popularity and has become an essential part of birth planning these days. Preservation of cord blood is once in a lifetime opportunity; therefore, it is important to understand the importance and the potential benefits of cord blood banking. But before you get into the details of what is cord blood banking, let’s first understand what cord blood stem cells are.

  2. What are Cord Blood Stem Cells? Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are those cells that are available directly after birth from a newborn’s umbilical cord. These cells are the precursors to all the other types of blood cells and cellular components, as they have the potential to become red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, etc. These precious cells can survive outside the human body and can be preserved for decades in a deep freeze, to be later thawed and revived when needed. HSCs discovered for the first time in 1961, have proven to be successful in treating various blood disorders, immune system deficiencies, cancers, and tumours. Presently there are over 80 FDA approved treatments on the usage of stem cells from umbilical cord blood, and research continues to unlock their hidden potential further.

  3. What is Cord Blood Banking? Cord blood banking is the preservation of newborn stem cells present in the umbilical cord blood. Right after a baby is delivered and the umbilical cord is cut, the cord blood is collected by a painless and non- intrusive process. The blood is then shipped to the laboratory where stem cells are separated from the plasma and platelets. The lab then prepares the stem cells for cryopreservation and stores them in specifically designed cryobags and protective cartridges at a subzero temperature in the tanks by using liquid nitrogen. You, of course, pay at a certain cord blood banking price. For this price, the cord blood bank provides you with a kit, arranges for bedside pick- up at the hospital, and handles all the testing, processing, and storage of stem cells. Typically, a gynaecologist or a midwife collects the blood after the baby is born. What is a Cord Blood Bank? Cord blood banks take care of the processing and storage of newborn stem cells either for private or public use. In public cord blood banking, the stem cells are donated and made available for treatments and clinical research. Here no charges are levied on the donor; the recipient is responsible for pays all the costs. In private cord blood banking, the stem cells are collected and preserved for the family’s use. So, here, the family pays for the collection, processing, and storage and retains control over their baby’s stem cells.
