A cord blood and tissue bank is a facility that collects, processes, and stores stem cells from a newborn’s umbilical cord blood and tissue for potential future use in medical treatments. These banks preserve the stem cells for therapies such as transplants for blood cancers or genetic disorders and may also store tissue for regenerative medicine applications
This sortable list below includes all known Public, Private, and Hybrid Cord Blood Banks in the United States, including:
- Private cord blood banks store cord blood units for private use by individual families (for a fee)
- Public cord blood banks store cord blood donations for public use (free of cost)
- Hybrid cord blood banks offer both public and private cord blood banking services
Currently, Cord Blood Registry (CBR) is the largest U.S. cord blood bank with over one million cord blood and tissue units in storage. The next largest cord blood banks in the U.S. are Viacord and Cryo-Cell.
