Why Lifeline

The Science of Cryopreservation

At Lifeline we process and cryopreserve cord blood in our own bank in Nicosia, Cyprus. This guarantees your sample's maximum viability and quality because:

• Lifeline processes your sample within a few hours after birth (stem cells are destroyed the longer it takes to process and cryopreserve them)
  
  
• Lifeline provides expectant parents with a special transportation kit in order to protect your sample from high summer and low winter temperatures
  
  
• With "immediate" processing and cryopreservation (mainly due to the short distances between Cyprus cities) Lifeline's samples maintain high viability index
  
  
• Lifeline receives samples 7 days a week, 365 days a year
  
  
• As a recently established cord blood bank Lifeline acquired the latest in biomedical technology and equipment in the field of cryopreservation
  
  
• Lifeline follows a proven scientific protocol for processing and cryopreservation; the same protocol is followed by the UK National Health Service
  
  
• By using the latest technologies in processing and cryopreservation we are able to offer high quality at the lowest cost

Since its establishment, Lifeline offers this valuable service absolutely free of charge to families who have a member that suffers from a disease treatable by stem cells transplantation
