Our Lab Expertise
Fully-owned facility
As the likelihood of using stem cells for therapies increases with age, we’re committed to being there for you and your family for the long haul. That’s why we invested millions of dollars to acquire and custom-design our stem cell processing and cryopreservation facility in Singapore.
Latest technology for automated cord blood processing
Cordlife invests in the advanced AXP® II system which is capable of recovering more than 97% of viable CD34+ stem cells, higher than other available processing systems.1 The processed cord blood is then placed into a fully programmable and automated cryoprotectant infuser that allows for the consistent preparation of stem cells for cryopreservation.

Getting Started
The collection of cord blood is a very simple process that poses no risk to you or your baby. It is important to make your decision about banking prior to your delivery date so that you and your Caregivers can be properly prepared for the collection procedure. You only have one chance to collect your child’s cord blood at birth and therefore is an important decision to make.
