    The CryoSave Difference

    CryoSave SA is committed to providing the highest standards of stem cell processing and storage combined with high-quality products and services. Your family’s decision to choose us is more than just about stem cells: it’s about your family’s aspirations for a secure and healthy future. That is why we have made this invaluable technology and our all-inclusive stem cell banking services affordable for as many families as possible. We deliver high service quality, and we operate with the highest integrity.

    The Laboratory

    The CryoSave SA state-of-the-art laboratory ensures that the highest standards of excellence are continuously met. It is a fully functional umbilical cord blood and tissue stem cell processing and storage facility with a Quality Management System which is AABB accredited and ISO 9001 certified.

    Our commitment to quality service and an affordable experience is at the core of our values.

    In case of a disaster, the stem cells can be shipped to our backup facility in SA. We have agreements with international laboratories which provide our clients with additional assurance for the shipment of samples to overseas storage facilities in case of a national disaster.

    The laboratory is equipped with immediate backup generators in case of a power failure or during loadshedding; processing and filling of the storage tanks can continue without any delays.

    Our storage facility is equipped with a gravity flow system for filling storage tanks even without electricity. The tanks are validated to be maintained at the required temperature, which allows time for shipment to backup facilities.

    CryoSave SA uses a specialised cord blood processing method using a Biosafe Sepax blood processing kit and the so-called Sepax II FAMCORD protocol. This is a closed, single-use system which minimises the risk of contamination during processing.

    We have a team of medical experts worldwide working in collaboration with us including Polish Stem Cell Bank (PBKM), CellSave USA, Dubai and the Cord Blood Association.

    CryoSave SA offers a Cost-Free Donation Programme for families that wish to store their baby’s umbilical cord blood stem cells for a sibling that has been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease where a stem cell transplant is being considered. In consultation with the transplant physician, should the eligibility criteria be met, this service will be provided free to these families.

    We also offer cost free shipment to transplant facilities for an FDA approved transplant, including the necessary testing of samples for release of the product.
