How do I know that my baby’s cord blood and tissue will not be mixed up with someone else’s?

Cell Care ensures that your sample cannot be mixed up at any point using a triple-identification system:

• Your collection kit is allocated a unique barcode that is used at every step of the collection
• The barcode labels have been validated for use on all elements of the collection kit including the collection bag, freezing bags, paperwork and all critical applications during processing and storage
• All of the components used for processing and storage are individually identified and allocated for your specific use
• The birth mother’s name is permanently attached to each step of the collection, processing and storage process
• The cassette barcode label and storage location for your baby's cord blood and tissue is kept in our validated computer system, which is backed up every day
