Philadelphia lives up to it’s moniker “City of Brotherly Love” in the availability of cord blood donation centers in its research hospitals and private storage companies. With the population base overlapping both metro New York and Baltimore’s, pregnant women in Philadelphia have an enviable choice regarding donating their baby’s cord blood.
CorCell
CorCell is the oldest and most experienced of the outlets which use the Community Blood Services laboratory. CorCell, Inc. is headquartered in Philadelphia and began as the first private cord blood company licensed for umbilical cord blood collection.
CorCell stores umbilical cord blood stem cells in its internationally known, AABB accredited banking facility, through their processing center, Bergen Community Blood Services. Formed in 1996, the Philadelphia based CorCell was anticipated to be a company serving the local area including various parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
However, CorCell has grown and has now collected umbilical cord blood from thousands of hospitals in all 50 states and from several other countries, even as far away as Australia by providing shipping with temperature control and secure chain-of-custody.
