NY Blood Center National Cord Blood Program

 

DESCRIPTION: This bank is a founding member of the Netcord international Cord Blood bank network. The NYBC was the first Cord Blood processing laboratory to be accredited under the international FACT/Netcord standards. The NY Blood Center, which in 2004 changed the name of its cord blood program to the “National Cord Blood Program”, is the world’s oldest and most prestigous public cord blood bank. For many years they could claim to have provided most of the cord blood used in transplants around the world. At any time, their inventory and number of transplants can be accessed from the Netcord website button “NETCORD inventory“. As of Oct 2006, there have been close to 8000 cord blood transplants worldwide, the cod blood inventory of the NY Blood Center was 31,373, and they had released 2162 units for transplants.
