Today, stem cells are being used to treat nearly 70 diseases, tomorrow countless more. CitySprint’s Medical Express team have experience in handling the safe and efficient transportation of fresh cord blood and in supplying collection kits and safely delivering the samples from hospital maternity wards to banking centres.

Due to time and temperature sensitivity, it is vital that the cord blood is shipped by a knowledgeable medical courier. The transportation of cord blood to the processing and storage facility is a vital step in the stem cell banking process.

The CitySprint Medical Express team understands the need to preserve the integrity of the shipment by reducing the transit time between destinations and protecting the cord blood samples from extreme temperatures. The team of support staff and couriers are specially trained in the intricacies associated with handling cord blood shipments.

CitySprint Medical Express provides a secure chain-of-custody, ensuring that a designated person is responsible for the safety of the cord blood at all times.

Each cord blood shipment is handled with the highest level of care. The team can tailor secure transportation solutions to meet each customer’s individual shipment needs. All CitySprint Medical Express couriers and customer services staff have expertise in the packing, classification and understand the importance of the prompt delivery of cord blood samples.

Approved packing kits are held in stock globally and can be called off at short notice for delivery to home addresses in preparation for the day of sample collection. Collection kits can be equipped with an electronic device which captures temperature data inside the kit during the entire transport process. After the collection kit reaches the laboratory, a log table of temperature conditions whilst in transit can be downloaded from the device.
