HistoryCalifornia Cryobank, Inc. (CCB) was founded in 1977 as a full-service sperm bank by Dr. Cappy Rothman and Dr. Charles Sims. Established nearly 30 years ago, CCB has a reputation for quality and caring that has made it globally respected and the foremost expert in tissue storage, serving all 50 states and more than 30 countries worldwide. With the advent of technology to process stem cells for freezing and parents’ increased desire in a medical option to help safeguard their families’ health, CCB entered the cord blood storage field in 1997. California Cryobank combined its deep understanding of tissue processing and cryogenic storage with the expertise of Dr. Michael Lill and Eddie Jacildo, DLM,MT,CLS in the field of stem cell processing, storage and transplantation and formed Family Cord Blood Services, the first private cord blood bank in California. Today Family Cord Blood Services is a recognized leader in umbilical cord blood stem cells processing and storage. Both California Cryobank and Family Cord Blood Services help an ever-growing number of people realize their dreams of raising healthy children. Driven by compassion and technical know-how, we are dedicated to cord blood and peripheral blood stem cell processing and storage. |
We are pleased to announce that in November 2005 Family Cord Blood Services moved to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Los Angeles, California. With four times the storage capacity, the expanded space and advanced capabilities allow us to streamline operations and provide enhanced service to our clients. The new address, less than a mile from our previous location, is: Family Cord Blood Services Rest assured the utmost care was taken with the transport of all cord blood stem cells. Our storage tanks were professionally handled and relocated by our partner for many years, Pacific Science, Inc., a certified company specializing in frozen tissue transport for major university research laboratories and hospitals. All of our additional contact information, including e-mail addresses and phone numbers, remains the same.
