No reputable cord blood banks offer placenta tissue banking. Unfortunately, the banks that are charging for this "service" are taking advantage of unsuspecting consumers.

This is because the stem cells derived from the placenta tissue (mesenchymal stem cells, also known as MSC's) are identical to those that come from cord tissue.

MSC's from cord tissue can be expanded by thousands of times, providing a virtually unlimited supply of these stem cells, therefore placental tissue banking provides no additional benefit whatsoever.

Yes. MiracleCord only uses a direct medical courier service to transport your baby's cord blood and cord tissue.

Our medical courier partner will not transfer custody of your baby's specimens to a commercial shipping carrier such as UPS or FedEx.

Each unit is carefully transported from your hospital room to our laboratory in a temperature-controlled environment by experts trained in the handling of biological tissue.

MiracleCord includes direct medical courier service with every plan, at no additional cost to you.
