Our Stem Cell Processing Laboratory
ViaCord's Processing Laboratory is a state-of-the-art newborn stem cell cryopreservation facility located just outside of Cincinnati. It is solely dedicated to processing and storing stem cells from your baby's cord blood and surrounding cord tissue.
Our processing and storage lab's location was chosen due to its low risk of natural disasters, central location, and its proximity to an international hub airport, which enables us to process and store your cord blood and cord tissue collections as quickly as possible.
AABB accredited, CLIA certified and FDA registered, ViaCord's Processing Laboratory is staffed by professionals trained in preparing stem cell samples for transplant. Our experience and expertise shows in our proven history of long-term cryobag storage and in that we have now processed and stored over 250,000 cord blood units.
In the case of an unexpected emergency, our lab is equipped with on-site back-up systems and advanced security systems. In addition we use the same high-quality cryopreservation freezers that are used by medical and research institutions such as the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Red Cross.
