For families banking cord blood, Newborn DNA Guardian offers a chance to capture and preserve a sample of their newborn’s pristine DNA. Your sample is safely and securely stored at ViaCord’s lab and can be used for genomic testing down the road.
With advancements in personalized medicine and genomic testing, families can be more proactive in managing their health by understanding your child’s disease risks.
