How is the collection kit transported to the processing center?
The arrangements for transporting your collection kit will vary based on the policies of the cord blood bank. In some instances, parents may have to arrange for transport, preferably through a professional medical courier. Other facilities, including LifebankUSA, will send a courier to pick the kit up from your hospital bedside. For added peace-of-mind, LifebankUSA uses a courier which employs secure chain-of-custody handling practices.
