AABB

(formerly known as the American Association of Blood Banks)

AABB has led the world in the development of blood banking standards since 1957. From 1991 onwards, the AABB has published standards for cord blood banking (which are updated regularly based on additional knowledge in the field), and these high standards are recognised as the world's gold standards. These standards ensure that banks accredited by the AABB provide their customers with only the facts and the best possible method for processing as well as storing the transplant-ready cord blood units until needed in the future.
