    We bank securely

    Since 2013, we’ve been at the forefront of stem cell banking, operating a state-of-the-art lab representing the pinnacle of technology and expertise.

    Easy Steps

    Easy Banking Process

    When it comes to making the decision of where to bank your newborn’s stem cells, you only get one chance to get it right. That’s why more parents choose CryoSave.

    01

    Collection

    Your newborn’s stem cells are collected immediately after birth by your doctor or midwife using the CryoSave collection kit. The collection process is non-invasive, completely painless and only takes a few minutes.

    02

    Transport

    The stem cells are sealed in a customized shipping container. You or your partner must call us within two hours of the birth of your baby. We are available 365 days a year to arrange for the collection and secure transport of the sample kit to our laboratory in Pretoria.

    03

    Quality Test

    Tests are performed on every cord blood sample to verify the quality of the stem cells that have been processed and stored. These include tests for total nuclear cell (TNC) count, CD34+/CD45 count count, viability and microbial tests on the cord blood stem cells. Quality and viability testing is also done on the cord tissue using fluorescence microscopy. In addition, maternal blood is also tested for infectious markers.

    04

    Processing

    Stem cells in the cord blood are isolated and concentrated by a process of differential centrifugation, using a semi-automated closed Sepax system. Cord tissue stem cells are also preserved with our proprietary technology.

    05

    Preserving

    Stem cells are prepared for cryogenic storage using standardized and accredited methods to protect the cells during the controlled-rate cryopreservation process.

    06

    Storage

    Cord blood and cord tissue stem cells are stored (cryopreserved) in the vapour phase of liquid nitrogen at temperatures colder than minus 180°C. International studies have shown that umbilical cord blood stem cells, stored under these conditions, can retain their viability for at least 20 years.
