Cord Blood Registry® (CBR®) is the world's largest and most experienced
stem cell bank. For more than 15 years, we have led the industry in
technical innovations. We are entrusted by parents with storing cord
blood and tissue for more than 400,000 children. Moreover, CBR was the
first bank to offer families in the U.S. storage for stem cells
contained in cord tissue, which may help repair the body in different
ways.
CBR has also helped more clients use their cord blood stem cells in
treatments than any other family bank. Our research and development
efforts are focused on helping leading clinical researchers advance
regenerative medicine that may help families in the future.
Within our laboratory and in the research field, CBR is helping advance
newborn stem cell medicine. Working with leading developers, we have
designed and implemented new technology and processes for cord blood
banking. Our cutting-edge laboratory in Tucson, Arizona, was designed
and built exclusively for newborn stem cell processing and storage.
Through partnerships with academic institutions, CBR supports research
that could lead to new stem cell medicine in the future. We have
cultivated relationships that allow us to offer our clients exclusive
access to some of the latest clinical trials.
CBR has the longest history of accreditation with the AABB (formerly
known as the American Association of Blood Banks). Our quality standards
have been recognized through ISO 9001:2008 certification — the global
standard for quality. We are also certified by CLIA (Clinical Laboratory
Improvement Amendments), a federal program to ensure quality laboratory
testing.
CBR is headquartered in San Bruno, California.
