More From Banking
We understand families only have one chance to bank their newborn's stem cells. That’s why we’re passionate about helping parents get more out of their banking experience.
Our Cord Tissue Banking Service
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.
Revolutionizing Cord Blood Banking
ViaCord is the only family cord bank harnessing the power of cord blood & DNA to help parents unlock valuable genetic health insights. For families banking cord blood we offer additional DNA test options:
Newborn Digestive Health
Provides genetic insights into a child’s predisposition for both celiac disease and primary lactose intolerance.

5-Compartment Storage Bag
We're proud to go the extra step for our families by storing cord blood and cord tissue stem cells in their own 5-Compartment bag, the latest innovation in newborn stem cell storage. A multi-compartment bag gives families:
More Options & Flexibility
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.
