Individual stem cell provision

The purpose of private stem cell banking is to facilitate livelong access to a depot of own, young and healthy stem cells. A stem cell depot constitutes a valuable biological cell resource which presumably enables to benefit from cell therapies in the field of oncology and regenerative medicine especially at an advanced age.

Cell processing and storage rates

Costs for transport, collection kit rent, cell processing and storage for the first five years, pregnancy anamnesis and cord blood collection are included in all rates. A 6 week right of withdrawal is offered. The duration of validity starts at the delivery date and is independent of the rate and any payments made prior to that date. Currently Vivocell is the only cord blood bank offering this convenience. Take your time to make your decision unhurriedly, without stress prior to delivery.

Costs for any further children are reduced to EUR 995,-- (incl. storage costs for the first five years).

If you already have a stem cell depot with Vivocell you will be guaranteed a discount of EUR 250,- for any further child.

The collection kit (including the sterile collection set) can be ordered directly at Vivocell. Costs for the collection kit are included in all rates.

Right of withdrawal?
