The Cord Blood Bank of Canada is the cord blood bank of choice for expectant parents today because:

	Multiple vial storage for maximum future flexibility and maximum sample security
	Double-Containment system to protect against cross-contamination and for more secured storage.
	CBBC’s Quality Service Guarantee
	Multiple vial storage for maximum future flexibility and maximum sample security Multiple vials allow for the possibility of multiple usage in the future. Samples are typically stored in at least three individual cryovials. It is expected that physicians will someday be able to amplify a small number of cells, using cell expansion technology to allow for multiple uses of a single sample. CBBC’s method of storage will allow physicians to take advantage of this technology once it becomes available. Only cryovials protected with a cryosheath have proven long-term storage dependability. Independent studies published in medical journals conclude that long-term cryopreservation of stem cells stored in cryovials yields high recovery rates of viable cells. CBBC is the only family bank in Canada to use shatter-proof polypropylene cryovials which are hermetically sealed in a cryosheath for additonal sample security. This double containment system is designed specifically to protect samples stored cryogenically by eliminating the possibility of bag breakage in liquid nitrogen. Ask your care manager why this is important.
	Double-Containment system to protect against cross-contamination and for more secured storage. Your baby’s cord blood stem cells must withstand long-term storage in a harsh environment. A double-containment system is the best way to protect against the potential risk of cross-contamination and for more secured storage in a harsh environment. Our double-containment system is designed to eliminate the potential risk of cross-contamination during long-term storage. Each cryovial is hermetically sealed in a cryosheath, providing a double-containment system specifically designed to endure long-term storage in liquid nitrogen. The seal also ensures that the family's bar code never detaches from the sample. This double-containment system provides the most secure, long-term cryogenic storage available. The ability to cryosheath the vial as well as the risk of bag breakage in liquid nitrogen are the primary reasons we store the cells in cryovials instead of blood bags
