Cord blood collected at birth is among the richest natural sources of haematopoietic stem cells — the cells that generate all blood and immune cell lines. The collection window is unique and non-repeatable: once the umbilical cord is cut and the placenta delivered, this source is gone permanently. MCP offers comprehensive cord blood stem cell banking, from delivery-room collection coordination to in-house processing and long-term cryopreservation.
About this treatment
Umbilical cord blood contains haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) at concentrations far higher than adult peripheral blood. These cells are immunologically naive — they have accumulated minimal mutations and have not yet been exposed to environmental stressors — making them the ideal quality for long-term banking.
MCP's cord blood programme covers the complete chain from collection to storage:
Collection
Good to know
- Collection timing
- At birth — one-time window
- HSC concentration
- Higher than adult peripheral blood
- Processing
- In-house MCP laboratory
- Clinical use
- Haematological malignancies, immunodeficiencies, emerging research
Who is this for?
Expecting parents who want to preserve maximum stem cell quality; families with hereditary haematological or immunological conditions; parents banking for sibling compatibility
Preparation required
Book a pre-birth consultation with MCP (ideally in 2nd trimester) via extranet.mc-praha.cz. MCP will coordinate with your obstetric facility. Collection kits are provided in advance.
