Storage Companies in Pretoria

Cryo-Save is a founding member of ITERA and sponsors its annual scientific workshop. Cryo-Save South Africa is the Leading Stem Cell and Cord Blood Storage Bank in South Africa. We cryo-preserve the stem cells found in the Umbilical Cord Blood and Umbilical Cord Tissue of newborn baby’sCryo-Save is Global Stem cell Storage Bank and is represented in 40 countries on three continents and has state-of-the-art processing facilities in Belgium, Germany, Dubai, India and South Africa.Cryo-Save sets the highest quality standards in stem cell storage, as it aims to make an important contribution to fight possible life-threatening diseases in the future.The company is committed to improving stem cell cryopreservation techniques by participating in European Commission funded projects, in Universities and Hospitals.

If you have decided to save the stem cells of your child, you should make sure that this is performed to certified standards. Cryo-Save guarantees, the highest quality standards in terms of transport, preparation and security of your child’s stored umbilical cord stem cells. You can be assured that every single step we take is based on the strictest scientific and industrial standards. Stem Cells are precious because they have the ability to develop into different kinds of cells within the human body. This unique process of SPECIALISATION is what builds our complex organism. These important Stem Cells, can be found in the Umbilical Cord Blood and Umbilical Cord Tissue. They have great and effective ability to produce different human tissues. Furhermore, Stem Cells from the Umbilical Cord Blood have numerous advantages: they are the youngest and most effective Haematopoietic Stem Cells that can be found in the human body and relatively unaffected by diseases and genetic mutations accumulating throughout lifetime. Cryo-Save is involved in Umbilical Cord Stem Cell collection and cryopreservation since Haematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs): Are responsible for rebuilding our Immune System and the different blood cells. At Cryo-Save, we have been storing umbilical cord stem cells for families all over the world since the year We are the leading family stem cell bank in Europe and Africa, the fastest growing in the world and, in 2013, we stored our 250,000th sample. Cryo-Save South Africa offers both local and international storage options in either Pretoria or Belgium, for both cord blood and cord tissue. Umbilical cord blood is a rich source of haematopoietic (blood-forming) stem cells. Cord blood transplantation is an established alternative to bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation and, to date, over 35,000 allogeneic cord blood transplants have been performed worldwide. Stem cells with this high proliferative potential are present in greater numbers in cord blood (more than eight times higher than in bone marrow). Stem cells in cord blood which belong to the immune system have not yet been exposed to outside factors (i.e. Blood-forming stem cells are less likely to cause complications (graft-versus-host disease) in allogeneic (donor to patient) transplants than other adult stem cells. Scientific breakthroughs and clinical successes appear in the world media almost daily. View our range of videos explaining Stem Cells, Stem Cell storage and our procedures. On your baby's day of birth, you have the unique opportunity to save your baby's umbilical cord stem cells.
