are you planning to store your baby's cord blood in private or public bank?then you're at right place,here we provide all information about cord blood banking.So lets have a look on these things before you store your baby's cord blood.
Storing your baby’s cord blood in a private facility ensures that it will be there if you or your family ever need it. There is no searching and waiting for donors; the cells are simply available for transplant. For your baby, the cells are a guaranteed 100% match, and for siblings the chance of a match it high. The real question is, how likely is your family to need those cells?
The average quote for the initial testing and processing of cord blood can run a couple around $1800, and there are almost always annual fees of anywhere from $50 to $500 for continuing to store cord blood with a bank. Most scientists agree that cord blood, when properly stored, is perfectly usable for up to ten years. Beyond that, the speculation grows as to its efficacy and even safety to use. It is worth noting that stem cells collected from a family member’s cord blood are twice as likely to result in a successful transplant as those from a public bank.
The umbilical cord blood and tissue samples are transferred to barcode labelled storage bags in metal canisters that are also barcode labelled with tamper-evident seals. The samples are then frozen in a controlled manner to prevent ice crystals forming in the bag. Once frozen the samples are stored in vapour phase liquid nitrogen.Of course, as with anything, something that sounds so good comes with its own measure of risks, costs, and a ?catch?.
Many new parents in today?s society, where many are eager and desperate to prevent any chance of harm to their child and equally desperate to provide every opportunity for their safety and success in life, hear about the benefits of umbilical Cord Blood and fervently desire to get theirs saved and banked.
Keeping all of this in mind, it is of course the parents? discretion and right to store cord blood after their baby is born. Some do it simply for peace of mind, while others do it for fear of genetic likelihood of things like childhood leukemia and other illnesses.
It can also be more difficult for minorities to find a match in public cord blood banks, since they are not as well represented in these facilities, which may play a role in deciding whether or not to use a private bank for your child.
