Does any one know a good company that banks the stem cells safely. I am based in India and the only companies i know of is reliance and lifecell. I am not sure which of them is good and if there are anyother companies in India who bank them.

Umbilical Cord Blood Collection Process

Step 1:
Receive Your Kit
Once you've enrolled, you will receive a CorCell welcome package and a collection kit. CorCell's collection kit uses what is often referred to as the bag or gravity collection method. This method is preferred by physicians and midwives for its ease of use and ability to achieve an optimal collection volume. We will also provide your birthing specialist with the materials and instructions needed for the cord blood collection.

Step 2:
Prepare for the Birth
Remember to take your cord blood collection kit with you to your birthing center when you are ready to deliver. We recommend packing it along with your other personal items in the overnight bag you have "ready to go" when you are close to your anticipated due date.

Step 3:
Collect the Sample
The collection itself is clean, painless and does not interfere with your delivery. It is similar to the procedure used by the American Red Cross. The process starts by your birthing specialist clamping and cutting the umbilical cord. Next, they sanitize a small area of the cord and insert the needle into the umbilical vein, with a blood bag attached. Just like giving blood, the blood flows into the bag. This process takes less than 5 minutes. Then it's your turn. Your birthing specialist will draw a small blood sample from you for purposes of testing and processing.

Step 4:
Call the Courier
Once this simple process is complete, contact the CorCell customer service center. CorCell representatives are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. CorCell will arrange for one of their professional medical couriers to come directly to your hospital room. The kit should be sealed and remain with you until the courier arrives.

Step 5:
Transport the Sample
CorCell's reputable medical courier will arrive to transport your baby's cord blood to our contracted AABB certified, federally regulated storage facility in Paramus, NJ. The kit is specifically designed to meet all regulatory requirements for shipping blood and to ensure that the package is insulated and padded to protect the sample from any damage. Our courier guarantees temperature control for the entire delivery process. CorCell will contact you when the lab has received the sample.

Step 6:
Conduct the Testing
Once everything is received at the lab, tests are performed on the cord blood sample to determine volume, nucleated cell count, and sterilization. Infectious disease testing is performed on the mother's blood.

Step 7:
Preserve and Store the Sample
Once tested, the cord blood unit is cryopreserved in cryoprotected blood bags at -196 degrees Celsius (-321 degrees Fahrenheit). We store in blood bags because studies have shown that bags allow for the best cell recovery rates after freezing, thawing and washing, and an even higher cell viability rate than other storage containers such as cryovials. The cryopreservation process includes submersion of your sample in liquid nitrogen at all times because this has proven to be the most effective method. After the storage process is complete, you will receive a copy of the test results and sample analysis.
