Cryo-Save

The cord blood bank Cryo-Save AG shut their doors at the end of June 2019. By 17 September, they filed for liquidation. The brand name CryoSave and the client database now belong to CSG-BIO. The clients’ umbilical cords were moved in the 2nd quarter of 2019, to the Polish cord blood bank PBKM, the head of the FamiCord network. FamiCord does not own the cords, they are operating under a third party storage contract.
