Umbilical cord blood stem cell storage

Stem cells are highly specialised cells that, when stimulated to do so, have the capability to produce many types of cell and tissue found in the human body.

Collecting and storing your baby's umbilical cord blood stem cells at the time of birth is a unique opportunity to preserve these precious cells.

Since the first cord blood stem cell transplant in 1988, much attention has been focused on cord blood storage and the future uses of cord blood stem cells. 

The medical evidence for umbilical cord blood stem cell transplants is now very encouraging and over 10,000 transplants have already taken place worldwide, treating 45 different blood disorders.

Ongoing research is also showing promise in the use of cord blood stem cells in the treatment of other diseases, and in the area of regenerative medicine. 

Smart Cells International is one of the world's leading cord blood stem cell storage companies.  Since 2001, we have been safely collecting and storing cord blood stem cells for thousands of parents all over the world.

Smart Cells' aim is to ensure every expectant parent is able to make an informed choice about the storage of their baby's umbilical cord blood stem cells.

The Smart Cells collection kit contains everything your medical professional will need to take the cord blood.
