Transportation

The transportation of a baby's umbilical cord blood to the processing and storage facility is a vital step in the stem cell banking process.

Due to time and temperature sensitivity, it is vital that the cord blood is shipped by a medical courier who understands the need to preserve the integrity of the shipment by reducing the transit time between destinations and protecting the umbilical cord blood collection from extreme temperatures. Our courier team members - drivers, pilots and customer support staff - are specially trained in the intricacies associated with handling these types of medical shipments.

Each cord blood shipment is handled with the highest level of care. Our courier customizes transportation solutions to meet your individual needs using coast-to-coast transport on their existing air network, next-flight-out via AirNet Systems flights, ground transportation, dedicated aircraft charter, or any combination of options.
