Collection of cord blood: an investment for the future of your child.

Baby cord blood is one of the most abundant sources of adult stem cells that can be used in human therapy to cure a long list of invalidating diseases and repair damaged organs and tissues.

SSCB, the Swiss Stem Cells Bank, offers a collecting and banking service for stem cells from cord blood. Though the baby cord blood can be collected anywhere, the cord blood stem cells are stored and preserved in the Swiss territory in technologically advanced laboratories.

For people who want to take advantage of the services proposed by SSCB, it is not necessary to reside or deliver the baby in Switzerland. Cord blood will be collected by means of a special collection kit supplied by the SSCB and sent to the banking laboratories through a dedicated express courier. Within 72 hours from the delivery, the baby cord blood samples will be analysed to store only the cord blood free of any microbiological contamination. The so-called "White blood cells", that is the part of cord blood which contains the stem cells, will be separated and stored in the SSCB's laboratories.

Thanks to the SSCB's services, collecting your baby cord blood is very easy and can save the life of the newborn in the future. Indeed, the stem cells present in the collected cord blood are an exclusive property of the person from whom they have been taken and are kept in SSCB's laboratory for any future use.
