Family Cord Blood Services ProfileFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Family Cord Blood Services, Inc. Family Cord Blood Services, an umbilical cord blood processing and storage company, is a subsidiary of one of the largest and oldest reproductive tissue banks in the world, California Cryobank, Inc. (CCB). The company was first founded as a division of CCB seven years ago by the same veteran team of physician visionaries that earned CCB its global reputation of excellence. Today, Family Cord Blood Services’ technological prowess in the sophisticated process of stem cell freezing, has earned it global respect as a foremost expert in cord blood processing and storing, serving families throughout the US and worldwide. With the phenomenal growth in awareness that the use of cord blood can re-constitute an immune system, Family Cord Blood Services is sought after by an increasing number of families who entrust the company’s knowledgeable staff, which is comprised of Clinical Laboratory Scientists with extensive blood banking experience, to safeguard their babies’ umbilical cord blood. Family Cord Blood Services credentials are comprehensive. The company takes pride in being the first private cord blood bank in the United States to be issued a biologics license by the State of California. Family Cord Blood Services, licensed by PharmaStem, holds a tissue bank license from the State of New York and is accredited by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), the “gold standard” for all blood banking, including cord blood banking. The company is accredited for not only processing and storing umbilical cord blood, but also for processing and storing peripheral blood stem cells. Its facility is also registered with the Food and Drug Administration. What differentiates Family Cord Blood Services from other cord blood storage companies is that it is the only private cord blood processing and storage company that is both owned and operated by two nationally renowned physicians, thereby affording much-valued medical oversight of all functions. Moreover, while it is common for many private facilities within this industry to outsource critical processing and storage functions, Family Cord Blood Services retains quality control of these functions by having medical and scientific professionals on site to implement these services. Additionally, the company’s collection kit, which offers unique thermal stability to the precious and fragile cells, coupled with its specialized medical courier, AirNet Express, offers extra measures to maximize the viability of a child's cord blood -- nationally and internationally. We are pleased to announce that in November 2005 Family Cord Blood Services moved to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Los Angeles, CA. With four times the amount of storage capacity, the expanded space and advanced capabilities allows us to streamline operations and provide enhanced service to our clients. |
