During your pregnancy, your umbilical cord serves as a lifeline that helps your baby grow and develop. It’s also a precious resource of newborn stem cells that come from the cord blood and perinatal tissues. Learn more about how preserving this precious resource is quick and easy, and has the possibility of increasing the future health options for your newborn and your family.
The stem cells in your baby’s cord blood and tissues have extraordinary healing capabilities. Stem cells work like a “bio-repair kit”, helping to heal and restore tissues, and replenish other cells. A single cell can replicate and become many cell types. When you choose to preserve your newborn’s stem cells, they are cryogenically frozen and safely stored in pure condition, so your family can access them in the future for medical therapies.

Stem cell treatments from cord blood transplants have helped thousands of families worldwide.
Newborn stem cells are being used to treat types of cancers, immune disorders and more, with new conditions being studied every day.
Your newborn is a 100% genetic match to their own cord blood stem cells, while full siblings have a 75% chance of being at least a partial genetic match.
Stem cells can be preserved indefinitely in proper cryogenic storage giving families a powerful resource against diseases and injuries that can occur in
the future.
You only get one chance to preserve your baby’s stem cells for their future. Protect your family by giving them access to the most innovative and valuable resources available as stem cell therapies continue to revolutionize the possibilities of regenerative medicine.
Your newborn’s stem cells are collected immediately after birth by your doctor or midwife using the CellSave collection kit. The collection process is non-invasive, completely painless, and only takes a few minutes.
The stem cells are then sealed in a temperature-controlled and monitored shipping container. Call us – we’re available 24/7, 365 days a year to collect the kit and securely transport it to our state-of-the-art laboratory.
We receive and process stem cell collections every day of the year, which are analyzed by our experienced laboratory scientists for TNCs, CD34+/CD45 count, viability, bacteriology, fungal and infectious diseases.
The precious stem cells from the cord blood are separated and purified with a precise, fully automated closed-system that has one of the highest reported stem cell recovery rates in the industry. The tissues are tested to evaluate the quality of the samples, we store them whole to ensure your family has the most options science has to offer in the future.
We place the frozen stem cells in our cryotanks, containing liquid nitrogen at almost -196 ̊C. At this temperature, the cells remain perfectly preserved for decades. Our laboratory and storage facility located in Dubai Healthcare City is built to help ensure the long-term safety of your child’s newborn stem cells.
Our high-tech system continuously monitors the frozen stem cells. If they are ever needed, we perform another round of quality checks before transporting them in cryogenic shippers to any transplant center in the world.
Stem cells are the body's "master cells" because they are the building blocks of our organ tissues, blood, and the immune system. They can find injured cells and tissue in the body and can start the healing process. Newborn stem cells are currently used in transplant medicine to regenerate healthy blood and immune systems. They are also being researched in an exciting new area of medicine called regenerative medicine, where scientists are studying the use of cord blood and tissue stem cells in experimental treatments for conditions like brain injury, diabetes and autism.
Storing stem cells for your newborn can change or even save a life. Cord blood stem cells have been used for over 20 years to treat more than 80 life-threatening diseases and disorders. Today, stem cell therapies continue to evolve, bringing new hope to patients and their families. Below are just a few diseases and disorders that have been treated with cord blood stem cells:
Cancers
Blood disorders
Immune disorders
Metabolic disorders
Preserving newborn stem cells makes them available for your family. For inherited genetic conditions, the child may not be able to use his or her own stem cells. In these cases, a matched sibling’s stem cells would be the first choice. Only private storage of stem cells for your newborn, offers access to current regenerative medicine clinical trials in autism, diabetes, and brain injury.
Over 350,000 families have chosen to store their newborn’s stem cells with CellSave. Collecting and storing a newborn’s stem cells give families a powerful resource against injuries and diseases that can occur in the future. When you decide to store your newborn’s cord blood and tissue, these stem cells are collected after the delivery and cryopreserved in a secure facility in the event your family needs them in the future. Some of the important reasons to save stem cells from cord blood and cord/placental tissue include the following:
Who in the family may possibly use your newborn’s stem cells can depend on a number of variables, including but not limited to:
Saving your newborn’s stem cells with CellSave ensures that your baby’s stem cells will be available to your family if you ever need them in the future. Families choose private banking with CellSave because there are significant benefits to using your own stem cells or stem cells from a family member if ever needed. First or second-degree, generally, who are a suitable match may be able to use your newborn's cord blood stem cells. Full siblings are the most likely to be compatible matches, with 75% chance of being at least a partial match. The child’s biological parents will always be a partial match. Extended family members like grand-parents, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews are less likely to be immune compatible but still have the chance to be a partial match.
Your child will always be a perfect match to his or her own stem cells and could use them for a growing number of diseases, however, not generally for inherited genetic conditions. In those cases, a matched sibling’s stem cells offer the best choice.
