Until now, expectant Utah parents have had to rely on out-of-state companies to process and store their newborn's umbilical cord blood. Because timing is critical if cord blood is to remain viable for cryopreservation, costly and sometimes logistically and technically untenable transport requirements arise. Some doctors in Utah recommend against cord blood banking for this reason alone. A local cord blood bank removes these obstacles and keeps the stored cells close at hand if it becomes necessary to use them. Utah Cord Bank provides families with an affordable cord blood banking solution in a state of the art FDA registered facility. In addition to these important factors, Utah Cord Bank is a pioneer in forward looking stem cell storage implementing techniques and practices that improve cell yield, cell viability and flexibity and useability of the stored cells.
