Unique to Cells4Life, CellsPlus gives you up to 3x more stem cells* when compared to other cord blood processing technologies available in the UK.

Number of cells is crucial – the more, the better. More stem cells could mean the difference between only treating a child or having enough cells to treat an adult; one treatment or multiple treatments; failure or success.

DISCOVER THE CELLS4LIFE DIFFERENCE

What service is best for my family?

The cost of cord blood banking will vary depending on the bundle you want. Most of our customers choose the Cells & Cord service, and add a CellsPlus upgrade, giving them up to 3x more cells* than other cord blood processing systems available in the UK.

Give our specialist advisers a call on 01444 873950 if you would like to customise your plan, and they will calculate the cost for you.

Depending on the hospital you are using, your collection could be performed by your consultant or you may require a specially trained phlebotomist (a person licensed to collect blood). There is an additional cost for a phlebotomy service of £300.

Spread payment plans

We believe every family should have the chance to store their baby’s cord blood, whatever their financial circumstances. That’s why we offer affordable cord blood banking options, such as spreading the baby stem cell storage cost over 12 months. Banking cord blood couldn’t be easier.

“At first, we weren’t sure about the cost of the stem cell collection but now our daughter has her samples stored, we couldn’t be happier. CellsPlus may not be the cheapest cord blood banking service, but it is the best”.

Vincent Roberts

“I was so impressed with the entire team and cannot recommend them and the benefits of umbilical stem cell blood bank storage enough. This is potentially life changing for you and your family.” Naomi Isted, Style & Beauty Presenter & Columnist
“The service we received from our phlebotomist was first class, Jo was always at the end of the phone at the crucial build up to Oliver’s arrival and Jo was extremely professional and very caring during the collection of the cells after he’d been born, always there when I needed advice.” Lisa Whitehead
“I have been a paediatric nurse for over 10 years but only recently discovered that I was able to store my children’s stem cells. I missed out on the opportunity with my three daughters so when I fell pregnant with my son I knew it was something we had to do.” Kim Bromwich, Paediatric Surgical Nurse
“Cells4Life’s affordable cord blood banking is second to none. We were able to spread our stem cell banking costs over twelve-months and couldn’t be happier. Our son now has access to his own cord blood and cord tissue if he ever needs it. If we have another child, we’ll be sure to use Cells4Life’s cord blood banking services again.’’ Millie Taylor

What is an Access Plan?

Everyone should be able to store their baby’s stem cells, which is why we don’t want cost to be a barrier when you are deciding if you will bank their cord blood, tissue, or more. Our Access Plans have been designed to make our cord blood banking even more affordable, with prices starting from as little as £550.

Can I keep my placenta after birth?

The simple answer is yes and there are a few options. Some will choose to consume it in pill form or in smoothies, and some keep it for personal reasons. You can also choose to privately store your placenta to keep the precious stem cells. It’s an incredibly useful organ during your pregnancy and can continue to be useful even after birth. Cells4Life can store this valuable resource for you as a safety net for your baby and family.

How much does it cost to save cord blood if I'm having twins or triplets?

How much does it cost to bank cord blood as a group?

This discount is subject to all three couples/parents signing up for the Cells4Life service at the same time.
