Caricord Company
CariCord is the world’s only umbilical cord blood bank that is both public and private while also holding rigorous FDA licensure to manufacture cord blood as a pharmaceutical drug, in the same laboratory. The CariCord Mission Statement is, “To provide parents with the confidence that they have taken the right steps to protect their children’s future, by securing the finest processing and storage of umbilical cord stem cell products available, anywhere in the world.” Great strides have been made in the evolution of collecting, processing, and storing umbilical cord cells over the past decades. CariCord prides itself on utilizing the latest advances to produce the highest quality umbilical cord cells and optimal storage techniques. Historically, samples have been known to last three decades. With current storage techniques employed at CariCord, sample viability is not believed to be linked to a finite shelf life. Stem cell biology is real. The element of risk is also inherent in their daily life. They all age and inevitably deteriorate gradually, they all carry risks of developing medical problems with key organs, and they all carry possible exposure to developing cancer. CariCord offers a true solution in providing insurance to all of these facets of life, some of which are immediately available and others on the horizon. Just as a financial bank implies monetarily saving for the future, CariCord offers a biological method to save for the future.
