Parents Ask
I want to do delayed cord blood clamping. Can I still bank cord blood?
The short answer - yes! The timing of cord clamping is a personal decision that should be discussed your healthcare provider. Cord blood and tissue collection start after the cord is cut, whenever that is. If your cord blood sample does not meet our minimum quantity requirement to store, we will reach out to you to review the findings and go over the options for next steps. Delayed clamping does not affect cord tissue collection.
How is cord blood used?
Cord blood can be used in stem cell transplants for nearly 80 conditions to regenerate a healthy blood and immune system, and in clinical trials that are exploring new potential applications.
When will I receive my ViaCord Collection Kit?
Kits are shipped to arrive by week 27 of pregnancy. If your due date is less than 13 weeks away, the kit will arrive shortly after you place your order.
Can I bank if I live outside the U.S.?
Yes. ViaCord can process collections if your baby's delivery occurs within the United States or Puerto Rico, regardless of residency. An additional $450 shipping fee applies to collections that take place in Puerto Rico.
How long can you save cord blood for?
There is currently no evidence that cord blood expires. Studies published in Stem Cell Translational Medicine found that long-term cryopreservation of cord blood stem cells (up to 29 years) does not affect their ability to function effectively, supporting the value of cord blood banking.
