How is Cord Blood Collected?

Medically reviewed by

Before delving into the collection process, it's essential to appreciate the origin and composition of cord blood. Cord blood is the blood that remains in the umbilical cord and placenta after a baby is born. Unlike regular blood, cord blood is rich in hematopoietic stem cells, which have the unique ability to transform into various types of blood cells, offering therapeutic potential for treating a range of diseases.

Embarking on the remarkable journey of stem cell collection with Anja Health promises an unparalleled experience, ensuring the safeguarding of your family's health for a lifetime and beyond. Let's delve into the meticulous stages of our stem cell collection process and explore the distinctive features that set Anja apart.

Collection

Upon enrolling with Anja, our commitment to excellence starts with our premium collection kit. Meticulously curated, this kit includes all the essential materials required for the collection of cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta. As you anticipate the joyous moment of childbirth, you carry this kit with you, informing your midwife, doula, or admitting nurse of its presence.

Processing

Post-birth, our dedicated shipping team swings into action, picking up the collection kit from any location within the United States. The journey continues to our contracted facility in New Jersey—a bastion of excellence.
