If you ever need the cord blood or tissue for therapy, Smart Cells release and ship, anywhere in the world, completely free of charge. The sample will be shipped in a constant temperature monitored frozen state in a special container designed for the purpose of international cell shipment. Cord blood and tissue can travel anywhere in the world with no loss of viability as it travels frozen. It is only thawed at the clinic where it will be used immediately prior to infusion. If you are considering moving the samples internationally for storage purposes only, although not recommended, samples can be transferred to another specialised laboratory in the new country of residence, ensuring continuity of cryopreservation. Transfer costs are not included.
