Advances in biotechnology enable babies born today to live longer and healthier lives than ever before. Pregstem helps new families learn about and take advantage of the latest health technologies.

Stem cell banking

Newborn cord blood and cord tissue is rich in Stem Cells, the core ingredient in future cell therapies. Banking newborn Stem Cells is safe and easy, and allows expectant parents to preserve this unique resource for future potential use. Discover how Stem Cell Banking may prove to be one of the most important things you do for your new family!

Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT)

NIPT uses next generative sequencing technology to test for the presence of major genetic abnormalities at early stages of pregnancy without the need for risky fetal invasive procedures.

Steps To Banking:

  • Step 1:

    Contact our newborn stem cell education specialists.

  • Step 2:

    Review and sign the agreement.

  • Step 3:

Frequently Asked Questions

What are stem cells?

Stem cells are ‘master’ cells from which all other cells, tissues, and organs in the body are derived. Although present in large quantities in the developing fetus, stem cells begin to diminish soon after birth. There are almost no circulating stem cells in adult blood. Cord blood is the only non-invasive method of collecting early stage fetal and embryonic stem cells from an individual.

How long can cord blood be preserved?

Once cryopreserved, your baby’s stem cells will remain viable for a lifetime.

At what time is the cord blood collected?

Cord blood is collected by your physician from the umbilical cord and placenta immediately after the birth of your child.

How is cord tissue collected?

Just like with cord blood, cord tissue is collected after birth. The process is easy and painless. After delivery the umbilical cord is clamped and cord blood is collected at this point. Once the cord is cut, your doctor will collect as much of the umbilical cord tissue as possible and place it in the cord tissue collection vessels with storage media and antibiotics.

When should I register?

It is highly advisable to register at least a few months prior to your delivery date to ensure that you are properly set up in the event that the deliver occurs earlier than expected.
