Banking your baby’s cord blood is a long-term commitment. It is important to bank with an accredited bank that has all the quality standards in place, to ensure long-term integrity and viability of your baby’s cord blood stem cells.
AABB Accreditation is an assurance that your baby's cord blood will be collected, processed and stored according to stringent quality standards to deliver safe stem cells for cellular therapy.
AABB Accreditation: World Recognition for Cord Blood Banking
CordLife is today the first and only AABB accredited private cord blood bank in Singapore
and Southeast Asia. Your baby’s cord blood will be processed and stored in CordLife’s AABB-accredited (American Association of Blood Banks) state-of-the-art laboratory and processing facility in Singapore for the specialized processing of haematopoietic stem cells. Our facility is also licensed by Ministry of Health, Singapore. AABB is one of the world’s most recognized standards for cord blood banking. It is an international non-profit body dedicated to developing the highest standards in cord blood banking. Should the cord blood sample be needed in the future, international transplanting physicians would know that cord blood processed in an AABB accredited facility is handled in a way that maximizes the chances of a successful transplant. AABB audits our facility every two years. This is evidence to you that your sample is screened, processed, and stored following the strictest quality assurance guidelines.
Going through an AABB accreditation process is voluntary. It is costly and time intensive to maintain the level of quality assurance required to produce samples that are consistently viable and useful for transplant. The cord blood bank must have all aspects of its operations assessed and validated by AABB assessors. Accreditation is awarded only when the cord blood bank meets or exceeds these standards. CordLife believes in undergoing the AABB assessment, which third-party validation and demonstrates our commitment to quality.
