Unlock more healing potential with cord blood & tissue banking
Banking your newborn's cord tissue along with cord blood, means you’ll secure two different types of stem cells for your family with distinct healing potential. Collecting cord blood and cord tissue is safe, painless, can be done with delayed cord clamping, and won’t interfere with your birth plan or baby bonding time.
ViaCord is the only family bank accredited by the AABB for processing and storing newborn stem cells from both umbilical cord blood and cord tissue.
Cord Blood vs Cord Tissue
Stem cells play unique roles in supporting our healthy bodies
Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs)
HSCs found in cord blood can mature into all types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
MSCs found in cord tissue are more versatile than HSC cells and are capable of forming bone, cartilage, fat, nerve, and tissue cells.
Benefits & Uses
PROVEN
Stem Cell Transplants
Cord blood stem cells can be used in the treatment of nearly 80 conditions to regenerate healthy blood and immune system.
CLINICAL TRIALS
Regenerative Medicine
Researchers are exploring both cord tissue and cord blood's ability to promote the body's natural healing processes in the field of regenerative medicine.
DNA INSIGHTS
Genetic Health Insights

ViaCord Complete Services
This unique offering covers the full spectrum including ViaCord's Cord Blood & Banking Tissue, Newborn Digestive Health, and Newborn DNA Guardian.
Newborn Digestive Health
Requires Cord Blood Banking. Safely and securely preserve a sample of your newborn’s pristine DNA for potential genomic testing in the future.
Genetic Insights Panel
Requires Cord Blood Banking. Analysis of 290+ genes associated with actionable, childhood-onset conditions. Information can help make proactive and informed health decisions.
Newborn DNA Guardian
Requires Cord Blood Banking. Safely and securely preserve a sample of your newborn’s pristine DNA for potential genomic testing in the future.
Whole Genome Sequencing
Requires Cord Blood Banking. All 22,000 genes are sequenced and analyzed DNA for variants in 2,500 genes with known associations to childhood onset-conditions and drug sensitivities.
Cord Blood Banking
Preserve stem cells from your newborn's umbilical cord blood. 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 exploring new potential applications.
Parents Ask
- Can I bank if I'm doing delayed cord clamping?
Yes! The timing of cord clamping is a personal decision that should discussed your healthcare provider. Cord blood and tissue collection start after the cord is cut, whenever that is. If your cord blood sample doesn't meet our recommended minimum to store, we’ll let you know. Delayed clamping doesn’t affect cord tissue collection.
- What's the difference between cord blood and cord tissue?
The difference is in the type of stem cells found in each source. Cord blood is a rich source of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) which are responsible for creating all types of blood cells that build and maintain our blood and immune system including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Cord tissue is packed with Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) which have a natural anti-inflammatory and regeneration properties have the potential to develop into various types of cells, including bone, cartilage, muscle, and nerve cells.
- When will I receive my ViaCord Collection Kit?
We'll ship your ViaCord Collection Kit about 90 days before your expected due date. If your due date is sooner, you will receive your ViaCord Collection Kit shortly.
- Can I bank if I live outside the U.S.?
It’s your delivery location that matters. We can process collections for deliveries that take place within the United States and Puerto Rico regardless of residency. An additional $450 shipping charge is added to collections that take place in Puerto Rico.
- How can you store cord blood for?
To date, there is no evidence that cord blood will ever expire. Recent studies published in Stem Cell Translation Medicine found cryopreserving cord blood stem cells for extended periods doesn't affect their ability to function effectively. The 27-year study and 29-year study add to a growing body of research demonstrating the value of cord blood banking.
