FAQs
-
How does stem cell banking with Anja Health work?
After purchasing a collection kit, you will receive it within 5 business days. When you give birth, bring the kit to the hospital. A doctor or midwife collects cord blood, cord tissue, and placenta samples in minutes. Then, you notify Anja Health via phone or pickup form, and a medical courier picks up the kit and delivers it to the lab for processing and cryopreservation. You can access the stem cells through an online portal when needed. -
What should I bank: cord blood, cord tissue, or placenta?
Banking all three provides the greatest quantity and variety of stem cells. Cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) FDA-approved for cancers and blood disorders. Cord tissue and placenta are rich in mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) being studied for conditions like heart disease, Alzheimer's, and autism. -
How long can stem cells be stored?
Stem cells have no known expiration date when properly cryopreserved. Anja offers both 20-year and lifetime storage options to keep them viable in vapor nitrogen tanks at -190°C. -
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
The provided content does not mention a refund policy. For specific cancellation and refund details, contact Anja Health directly. -
Is the collection process painful for my baby?
No, the collection is done after the umbilical cord is clamped and cut, so it is painless and non-invasive for both mother and baby.
