How does the collected cord blood get from my hospital room to the processing laboratory?
After the doctor or midwife collects the unit, it is placed into the shipping container and sent to the lab you selected via our medical delivery service. Each kit contains specific instructions about the collection process, how to prepare the sample for delivery and how to arrange for pick-up at your bedside. Once it arrives at the lab, you will be notified. Finally, a staff member will update you on the unit’s progress until it is permanently stored. Once the unit is in storage, you will receive a Certificate of Storage, contact numbers and a unique ID number for your baby’s unit.
