Secure Storage Facility

Our clients depend on us to store their baby's stem cells for a lifetime. At CBR, we've done everything possible to honor that trust.

State of the Art Laboratory

Cord Blood Registry's facility is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) for the specialized processing of hematopoietic stem cells. Accreditation, which requires AABB audits every two years, is evidence that your sample is screened, processed, and stored following the strictest quality assurance guidelines.

Ultimate Protection Against Cross-Contamination

CBR's storage vaults were custom built for our lab and feature the most stable and precise cryogenic temperature control, while avoiding sample exposure to liquid nitrogen, which can transfer viruses, risking cross-contamination. Each sample is encased in an outer protective layer to ensure the barcode never detaches from the sample. This system provides the most secure, long-term storage available

Secure Location

CBR's lab is located in Tucson, Arizona, a location historically free from natural disasters (hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.) that could affect the viability of your sample. CBR's highly trained laboratory technicians routinely test and certify every critical piece of laboratory equipment. Redundant back-up systems include an electric generator as well as an automated reserve liquid nitrogen storage unit.
