CORD BLOOD STORAGE Natasha's Place, the National Mixed Heritage Cord Blood Bank, is operated in partnership with Lifeforce Cryobanks - the most trusted name in private and public storage for over 10 years. Lifeforce Cryobanks' U.S. facility is located in Altamonte Springs, FL and was founded in 1993. They are a pioneer in the collection, isolation, and storage technologies for cord blood stem cells, and together we focus on providing high-quality umbilical cord blood stem cell processing and storage for both private family use and public donation purposes. In cases where a unit is not eligible for an unrelated transplant, we may still find it suitable for research purposes in pursuit of finding cures for many life-threatening diseases. Our goal is to advance the field in areas that will save lives. We also have a strict policy that does not permit our involvement in any research that is deemed controversial including cloning, embryonic, or cosmetic research.
Cryobanks International is a NMDP umbilical cord blood processing and storage bank accredited by the AABB (formerly called the American Association of Blood Banks) in cord blood activities, licensed for tissue banking operations by the New York and New Jersey State Departments of Health and registered with the Food and Drug Administration. In addition, many members of our staff are currently active in dozens of related organizations, such as: American Society of Hematology World Marrow Donor Association American Association of Tissue Banks American Society for Clinical Pathology International Cord Blood Society American Association of Bioanalysts State of Florida Department of Health - Division of Medical Quality Assurance American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation   CLICK HERE TO LEARN WHY WE CHOSE TO PARTNER WITH CRYOBANKS INTERNATIONAL CLICK HERE FOR A COPY OF OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE SURVEY
