Trailblazers in Family Cord Blood Banking
ViaCord started in 1993 with a bold vision: harness the power of stem cells to revolutionize healthcare. This vision has fueled our unwavering commitment to apply advanced science to deliver the highest-quality stem cell collection and stem cell storage process possible in order to achieve results for families.
Driven By Innovation
ViaCord's 30-year legacy is fueled by our commitment to quality and innovation.
Revolutionizing Cord Blood Banking
The dream of using DNA to help manage health is now a reality. ViaCord is the only family cord blood bank unlocking valuable genetic health insights using cord blood.
Newborn Digestive Health
Provides genetic insights into a child’s predisposition for both celiac disease and primary lactose intolerance.
Genetic Insights Panel
Identifies actionable, childhood onset conditions through the analysis of over
290 genes.
Whole Genome Sequencing
Sequences all genes & analyzes 2,500 with known associations to childhood onset-conditions and drug sensitivities.
Newborn DNA Guardian
Parents can preserve a sample of their newborn's pristine DNA for potential future genomic testing.
Cord Tissue Banking
While some banks store segments of cord tissue, we've invested in a processing technology that extracts cord tissue stem cells prior to storage resulting in:
All Cell Types
Our process recovers all stem cell types from the cord tissue prior to freezing including mesenchymal, endothelial, epithelial, neuronal, hematopoietic, and perivascular.
More Cells
Our method results in
8-times the number of cord tissue stem cells compared to other methods that extract cells from thawed frozen segments of cord tissue.
Ready For Use
Cells are processed, characterized (required by treating physicians) and stored in a 5-compartment bag. Clinical use requires cells, not tissue.
5-Compartment Storage Bag
We're proud to go the extra step for our families by storing stem cells in a 5-Compartment bag, the latest innovation in newborn stem cell storage.
The First
ViaCord was the first family bank to store cord blood in a 5-compartment stem cell storage bag.
The Only
ViaCord is the only family bank currently processing cord tissue stem cells and storing them in their own 5-compartment bag.
More Options
Physicians can access cells from a single collection in as many as five treatments or all at once - depending on the condition.
Future Potential
Puts families in a good position to take advantage of stem cell expansion technologies should they be realized.
Sibling Donor Program
Helping those who need it most
The Sibling Connection Program provides ViaCord's high-quality cord blood collection, processing, and lifetime storage (78 years) at no cost to expecting parents with a child diagnosed with a condition that is currently treatable with a full sibling's cord blood transplant (approximately 80 eligible diagnoses). This program ensures a potential resource is readily available if needed. Nearly 10,000 families have joined The Sibling Connection Program. We're thankful so many families entrust ViaCord during this important time in their family's journey.
OUR PARENT COMPANY
We're not alone in this journey. We're backed by the strength and expertise of our parent company Revvity (NYSE: RVTY), a global leader in diagnostics and committed to solving the world's most pressing health challenges. We harness the combined forces of ViaCord's family-centric vision and Revvity's innovative approach to health management to create a ripple effect of positive change.
