For many years, traditional childbirth has been limited to simply delivering a baby, whether it is through natural childbirth or a Caesarian section. Now, experts have found ways on how to make the most of out of this significant moment in our lives by bringing in cures for potential life-threatening diseases.
Our child’s health will always remain a priority. If you are an expectant parent, for sure that as early as now, you have thought about your baby’s future. You have probably gone as far into thinking about his first day in school, the many birthday parties to come, and other celebrations that you and your baby will share.
There are so many decisions to make for the sake of our children, and the most important one is choosing to store their cord blood, which can only be collected at birth. CordLife can help you with this decision by giving you the latest information on cord blood banking.
Today, over 10,000 patients suffering from more than 80 diseases benefit from cord blood stem cells for treatment. With continuous worldwide medical research, more diseases like diabetes, heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease would be treated through the use of stem cells.
CordLife
CordLife operates a stem cell processing and storage facility in Singapore and the Philippines, and follows stringent quality standards set by the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). Collected stem cells are stored in a nitrogen tank at -196°C. According to research, stem cells kept under liquid nitrogen temperatures remain viable up to a thousand years of storage.
CordLife is the only private cord blood bank in Singapore and the Philippines which uses Sepax®, an FDA-cleared, fully-automated cord blood processing system that carries out precise stem cell separation. Sepax® is a proven and safe technology. With Sepax®, you can rest assured that there is no sample mix up and cross contamination.

Why Invest in CordLife?
Investing in CordLife’s services guarantees that your baby will have a ready source of genetically-related stem cells which your child may use uncertain times. There is a good percentage of a match between the baby and the baby’s parents and/or siblings, which means that your whole family can significantly benefit from cord blood extraction.
The stem cells present in the umbilical cord are said to be of better quality than those of the bone marrow.
