From processing to long-term storage and future retrieval, what exactly am I paying for?
Newborn stem cell banking is an investment in your family’s health that offers limitless opportunities in the future. VitalCells believes in transparency, so let’s break down the comprehensive services included in your investment.
Breaking It Down: What the Cost Really Covers
Unlike cord blood banks that process samples in less than a day and store only cord blood—not live ready to use stem cells—VitalCells takes a far more comprehensive approach to stem cell storage. Our expert lab team spends 2–3 months carefully extracting, growing, and quality-testing your child’s cells to ensure a banked supply of LIVE, ready-to-use stem cells for personal use.
It’s important to understand the difference in service and standards: VitalCells is built to deliver verified, high-quality stem cell preservation—not just storage.
