Cord Blood Collection Process

How do I get the Cryo-Cell Collection Kit I need to take
to the hospital or birthing center?

Completely fill out, initial and sign the Cord Blood Processing, Storage and Informed Consent Agreement and Exhibits 1-5, (Enrollment Form, Fee Schedule, Maternal Health History, HIV Consent and Authorization to Collect). We recommend keeping a copy of these documents. The rest of the information packet is yours to keep.
If you fax these forms, please make sure the credit card information is legible, correct and the authorized signature is signed on the Fee Component page. Once you have faxed them to us, please mail the original forms to Cryo-Cell Cord Blood Bank for our files. Our Client Support fax number is 1-800-679-8060. Upon enrollment, standard delivery service for your kit will be mailed to you.
For parents ordering the kit within 30 days of the expected due date, or for any situation that requires the kit more quickly than the standard delivery service, Cryo-Cell offers an expedited (overnight) delivery service to U.S. and International clients.

What do I have to do after the kit arrives, but before I go
to the hospital or birthing center to have the baby?

It is very important that you read through all the printed material included with the kit as soon as you receive it so that your questions may be answered before you arrive at the hospital or birthing center.
Your doctor or midwife has been mailed the Umbilical Cord Blood Collection Instructions. For convenience, an extra copy is included with the kit and should be brought to the birthing location.
Store the kit at room temperature at all times to avoid exposure to temperature extremes. Do not leave the kit in your car.
Review the Shipping Instructions and the Expectant Parent Checklist. Fill out the portions you can in advance.
Make sure to take the kit and all paperwork to the hospital or birthing center when it’s time to deliver your baby.
