Today, most parents must face the decision on how to manage cord blood after the birth of an infant.\u00a0 The options include donating the infant\u2019s cord blood<\/a> or storing it for potential private use of the child<\/a> or a family member<\/a> through cord blood banking, or the blood along with the umbilical cord, the umbilical cord blood as it is referred to, could be simply discarded as a medical waste.\u00a0 The second of the above mentioned options, however, has shown to be very rarely helpful.\u00a0 It is very difficult to calculate the probability of a child needing a stem cell intervention<\/a>, however, it is estimated that the chances of a child actually needing and benefiting from a stem cell intervention from their own cord blood during life are very low.<\/p>\n

Two main types of cord blood banking institutions, were developed for the storage of cord blood, in the industry process referred as cord blood banking. The first is the public cord banking<\/a> in which the cord blood might be donated<\/a>.\u00a0 The second type includes private cord blood banks<\/a>.\u00a0 Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of cord blood units that are stored within these cord blood banking companies<\/a> worldwide.<\/p>\n

Statistical criteria and percentual feature allocation to list the cord blood banking reviews<\/strong><\/h1>\n

COLLECTION METHODOLOGY<\/strong>: About 7% of the evaluation goes into the category of the collection of the cord blood<\/a>. It is in many cases an envelope made of aluminum that contains a sterile special bag. Also, a container of cylindrical shape that is airtight for the cord blood collection bag. There is also a thermometer that will be used later to monitor the execution of the transport. And a sleeve made of plastic with 2 tubes is also included. Cord blood banking reviews note in general that all private cord blood banks have their own collection kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TRANSPORTATION TO THE CORD BLOOD BANK<\/strong>:\u00a0 8% into this category.\u00a0Here in this category the best companies are the ones that have transportation in ad hoc specialized medical couriers and follow Good Distribution Practices. The worst are the ones in the cord blood banking reviews that utilize the standard commercial shipping services that simply use insulated boxes not GDP compliant to protect the cord blood specimens. All companies in the cord blood banking reviews offer transport 24 hours per day and they include holidays. No difference here between the companies reviewed. Of course, birth can take place during the entire day, so there is no reason to limit the service to office hours only. High temperatures and fluctuations of temperatures even within tolerance ranges affect de cord blood and accelerate the death of stem cells affecting thereby the quantities of cells that will reach the storage cryogenic facilities.<\/p>\n

PRICING:<\/strong> We assigned 5% of qualification rating in the cord blood banking reviews to this category. We cannot base the decision only on the price, we considered also in the reviews, the discounts offered and different conditions in the payments. A cheap price may cost more in the long run if the service provided is not of a good quality.<\/p>\n

Different types of cord blood banks exist today, private banks<\/a> and public banks<\/a>, private banks being further divided into for-profit and non-profit respectively. Cord banks apply a variety of different fees and payment schemes. They charge money for a variety of different services, including maintenance of blood units, storing,<\/a> processing, sample typing, bank laboratories, courier charges, collection kits<\/a> and enrolment information. Some of these services however, translate into a better customer service and is reflected properly in our cord blood banking reviews.<\/p>\n

Private banks can charge anywhere from $1500 to $2000 for the service of making cord blood samples available to families, families who need them to counter illnesses which require the re-growth of cells. Some blood banks charge nothing until the donated cord blood samples are proven to be disease-free and safe to store. Some banks offer a pre-paid plan, entailing a discounted one-time payment, a payment scheme that is more economical than having to pay a certain amount annually. However, it is not the money being charged, but the efficiency of the bank in question that should be the leading consideration when deciding which blood bank to opt for. This is why we only assign 5% to the pricing category in our cord blood banking reviews.<\/p>\n

ADDITIONAL SERVICES<\/strong>: We decided to assign 8% of the quota of the qualification in the cord blood banking reviews to the additional services provided by the private cord blood banking institution<\/a> selected. These services are called in the industry Value Added Services. The most important of the services that some of the companies have is the cord tissue banking<\/a>. Therefore, in our cord blood banking reviews, cord blood banks that offer additional services such as cord tissue banking<\/a> will rank much better in this category. Cord tissue banking investigation is not as advanced as cord blood banking investigation<\/a>. in the future, these treatments will cover the reparation of tissue in damaged condition, wounds, ulcers, also burns and ligaments, to name a few.<\/p>\n

ACCREDITATION<\/strong>: We have assigned 15% of our qualification quota to this category. However here, when doing the cord blood banking reviews, we have not found noticeable differences among the participants. Almost all of them have preferred accreditations: To the AABB<\/a> (formerly American Association of Cord Blood Banks), they are subject to inspection of the FDA, and almost all of them are registered to CLIA. CLIA is an organization of clinical laboratories. These accreditations strenghten the profile of the cord blood banks due to the numerous audits they face: several per year, when we include all these organizations.<\/p>\n

These private cord blood banks<\/a> are the only type of banks that we include in our cord blood banking reviews.<\/p>\n

These facilities are for-profit enterprises<\/a>, which enable families to collect and store cord blood units for private use when the families are willing to pay for such service<\/a>. Some parents meet the decision to bank the cord blood<\/a> of their baby through the cord blood banking company, which is to be used in situations that might prompt stem cell transplantation<\/a> to a child or a family member. In such cases, families have to pay fees for services including collection, processing, and cord blood banking. Typically, private cord blood banks<\/a> provide the family with a collection kit<\/a>, which is used upon delivery. Obstetricians, that often lack experience in this activity, perform the collection of cord blood, which is then transported to central cord blood banking facility for processing and storage, which is associated with the risks of inadequate collection and low volume of cord blood sample. The feedback regarding the quality, volume of cord blood and the count of stem cells<\/a> is sometimes not provided to the family.<\/p>\n

Cord Blood Banking: a Brief History<\/strong><\/h1>\n

To complete the cord blood banking reviews, here is a brief history where you can see the role of many of the companies included in this article.<\/p>\n

Cord blood banking as a global industry was born in the early 1990s, when several new cord blood banks spawned across the United States. After this, cord blood banks were established all over the world<\/a>. But the history of cord blood storage begins much earlier.<\/p>\n

It was in 1974 that scientists first observed the presence of stem cells in cord blood that came from humans<\/a>. By 1983, it has been proposed that cord blood could be harvested as another source of stem cells<\/a>, cells which could be used for transplant. Cord blood transplant had been successfully used to regenerate the immune system and blood cells<\/a> by 1988. This happened in Paris. Dr. Eliane Gluckmann performed the procedure, treating a boy aged 6, suffering from a blood disorder called \u2018Fanoci\u2019s Anemia.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Proceedings of the National Academy of science had published a crucial article by 1989, an article written by Dr. Broxmeyer and his colleagues, an article observing that cord blood possesses attributes similar to bone marrow and can serve as a rich source of stem cells, cells that can be used in transplant. The article further proposed that cord blood can serve as an alternative to bone marrow for HSC transplantation.<\/p>\n

Cyro-Cell International<\/a>, which started storing stem cells<\/a> in 1992, was founded in 1989 in Oldsmar, Florida, in the United States. The New York Blood Center had also opened the first ever public bank for cord blood storage by 1992, with funding provided by the US NIH (National Institute of Health). Another landmark in cord blood storage occurred also in 1992, when in Tucson, the fist cord sample was stored by the University of Arizona, for private use by a family.<\/p>\n

ViaCord,<\/a> a private cord blood banking company, was founded in 1993. That same year, the first transplant using cord blood took place, where the donor and the recipient were unrelated to each other. This procedure was performed at Duke University<\/a> in North Carolina in the United States.<\/p>\n

The CBR (Cord Blood Registry<\/a>) was founded in 1995, a company that has grown exponentially since, becoming the largest private cord blood bank<\/a> in the world, judging by the amount of cord blood units that have been banked, which number over 700,000.<\/p>\n

CBR<\/a> was acquired by AMAG pharmaceuticals, a giant in the pharmaceutical industry, in June 2015 at a price of $700 million, but it continues to operate under its original brand name. As of December 2018, AMAG may be considering selling CBR. CBR was during several years of our previous cord blood banking reviews considered the best cord blood bank<\/a> by the readers of this website.<\/p>\n

In 2008, HealthBanks Biotech Company Ltd., a Taiwanese company, started to offer cord tissue banking as a service in Asia, becoming the first worldwide company to make this offer. Subsequently, HealthBaby, a company based in Hong Kong, started offering the same service in 2009, followed by CryoLife, another company based in Hong Kong, which also offered the same service later that year. It is in Asia where cold tissue storage<\/a> first became a common practice. Cord tissue banking along with cord blood banking is a common practice worldwide today. Banks that offer both type of storage rank very well in our Additional Services category of the cord blood banking reviews.<\/p>\n

International cord blood banks exist as well, for example LifeCell International, offering to store 10 different types of stem cells. LifeCell is the largest cord blood bank in India, storing upwards of 270,000 units. In these cord blood banking reviews we do not consider foreign banks, only from United States.<\/p>\n

As a conclusion, we hope that these cord blood banking reviews were useful to select the right cord blood bank for you. Leave us please a comment with your decision and why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
