Our Past, Present, and Future
Established in 1996 and encouraged by the increasing number of successful cord blood transplants in the USA, and envisaging the huge potential for regenerative medicine, CRYOLIFE officially began its cord blood storage service on January 1st, 1998. It was one of the first private Cord Blood Bank companies in Asia to introduce cryopreservation services of umbilical cord blood for the benefit of families.
The Mission to Match our History
As the most experienced cord blood bank in Hong Kong, CRYOLIFE has always stuck to its mission and values. Together with providing long term quality cryopreservation options, Cryolife’s mission is to promote public awareness and educate expectant parents with honest, accurate and balanced information on the benefits of umbilical specimen banking for critical medical treatments, as well as the enormous potential for regenerative medicine and cellular therapies.

【採集臍帶血有沒有風險?是否人人適合?】 抽取臍帶血會對母親及初生嬰兒造成危險嗎?每個人都適合採集臍帶血嗎?以下為你解決這類疑問🙋。 採集臍帶血在順產時基本上是沒有風險的,在嬰兒出生後,胎盤仍與母親的子宮連結時,會用針頭插入臍帶,然後將血液收集到袋中。過程可能會導致輕微的不適或疼痛,但基本上沒有風險。 在某些情況下,例如剖腹生產令子宮大量出血,或本身孕婦出現胎盤前置等,則有可能不適宜採集臍帶血,會依據醫生的判斷作準。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 跨奧 CRYOLIFE|香港第一間臍帶血庫,27年來嚴格維護臍帶血庫標準,為香港唯一連續16年獲AABB認證的臍帶血庫,堅持國際標準、定期公開細胞品質測試、堅持24小時公開全方位監測,迎接幹細胞廣泛應用的新紀元再生醫學! 聯絡我們: 香港 (852) 2110 2121 澳門 (853) 6299 3635 電郵:cryolife@cryolife.com.hk #CRYOLIFE #跨奧 #香港首家臍帶血庫 #cryolifehk #臍帶血庫 #臍帶血 #臍帶血儲存 #臍帶血捐贈
【杏林筆記:婦產科醫生拆解陣痛到分娩過程!儲存臍帶血兩大注意事項!】 婦產科專科醫生 吳坤蒨醫生指,孕婦在正式分娩時,分有3個階段: 第一階段:會出現陣痛、見紅和穿水症狀,子宮頸將會完全擴張。 第二階段:胎兒娩出,產婦用力將嬰兒經陰道娩出,嬰兒離開母體。 第三階段:排出胎盤,醫護會檢查胎盤是否完整排出及觀察產婦狀況。若選擇了儲存臍帶血的話,亦會在寶寶出世後盡快抽取。 而父母選擇為寶寶儲存臍帶血的其中一個目的,是可以保存珍貴的幹細胞來源,為日後寶寶或家人保留多一種治療機會。大家在選擇臍帶血庫時亦可以留意: -臍帶血庫是否有國際權威機構如美國血庫協會(AABB)持續多年的認證 -其背景、實驗室配套等是否專業穩定,確保臍帶血儲存妥當 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 跨奧 CRYOLIFE|香港第一間臍帶血庫,27年來嚴格維護臍帶血庫標準,為香港唯一連續16年獲AABB認證的臍帶血庫,堅持國際標準、定期公開細胞品質測試、堅持24小時公開全方位監測,迎接幹細胞廣泛應用的新紀元再生醫學! 📞聯絡我們: 香港 (852) 2110 2121 澳門 (853) 6299 3635 📩電郵:cryolife@cryolife.com.hk #CRYOLIFE #跨奧 #香港首家臍帶血庫
【臍帶血庫邊間好?要考慮4大因素!】 市面上有各大臍帶血庫,各有不同特色及規格,準父母在選擇臍帶血庫時,應考慮什麼?下文為你介紹選擇臍帶血庫時要注意的4大因素。 1️. 📍地點:臍帶血庫最好座落在交通方便的位置,以縮短收集臍帶血的時間。若臍帶血儲存庫位於甲級寫字樓,就能確定有完善的設施及專業物業管理。另外,儲存庫附近最好亦沒有存放危險品,確保臍帶血被安全存放 2. 👨🔬實驗室專業總監:可留意該實驗室的總監是否長駐本地,因為實驗室總監會負責把關處理及儲存樣本的服務品質,如總監長駐本地將有助更快速提供專業意見及即時支援 3. ✅認證:臍帶血儲存庫的第三方專業機構認證,例如美國血庫協會(AABB)認證,以較長年期、持續獲取為佳,這顯示了臍帶血庫長年符合業界標準 4. 💰財政穩健程度:臍帶血一般至少儲存18-20年,因此穩健的財政狀況可以確保血庫未來穩健地運作,不會突然倒閉 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 跨奧 CRYOLIFE|香港第一間臍帶血庫,27年來嚴格維護臍帶血庫標準,為香港唯一連續16年獲AABB認證的臍帶血庫,堅持國際標準、定期公開細胞品質測試、堅持24小時公開全方位監測,迎接幹細胞廣泛應用的新紀元再生醫學! 聯絡我們: 香港 (852) 2110 2121 澳門 (853) 6299 3635 電郵:cryolife@cryolife.com.hk #CRYOLIFE #跨奧

【🩸臍帶血可永久儲存?血庫會否定期監控?】 大家都對於臍帶血移植有一定的了解,但你知道臍帶血可以儲存多久嗎?🤔又會不會擔心儲存在血庫的臍帶血的品質?下文將為你解答關於這方面的疑問。 由於儲存臍帶血亦算是一種較新的技術,它的儲存期限仍需時間去證明。但根據現有數據,世界各地的專科醫生👩⚕️及科學家都認為,如果得到妥善處理及冷凍儲存,臍帶血可以儲存超過30年或更長。而根據跨奧2022年的抽樣細胞活躍測試,其儲存4-18年的臍帶血解凍後幹細胞存活能力的恢復率普遍高於85%,遠高於國際醫療指標要求😮。 各大臍帶血血庫都會有各自的標準去檢查及監控臍帶血,以確保臍帶血的品質及細胞活躍度。跨奧臍帶血庫每年會進行2次臍帶血樣本品質檢定,確保臍帶血幹細胞的活躍度,結果亦會在官方網頁上公佈💻。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 跨奧 CRYOLIFE|香港第一間臍帶血庫,27年來嚴格維護臍帶血庫標準,為香港唯一連續16年獲AABB認證的臍帶血庫,堅持國際標準、定期公開細胞品質測試、堅持24小時公開全方位監測,迎接幹細胞廣泛應用的新紀元再生醫學! 聯絡我們: 香港 (852) 2110 2121 澳門 (853) 6299 3635 電郵:cryolife@cryolife.com.hk #CRYOLIFE #跨奧 #香港首家臍帶血庫 #cryolifehk #臍帶血庫 #臍帶血 #臍帶血儲存 #臍帶血捐贈
【擔心臍帶血用不到?全球已有4萬移植案例!】 很多人說臍帶血能夠用上的機會萬中無一,因此不值得花費大量金錢去儲存臍帶血,這是真的嗎🤔? 儲存臍帶血,其實更像是為初生嬰兒購買一份保險。當嬰兒或家人患上嚴重疾病,例如白血病、淋巴瘤等,移植時便能減少配對的時間,爭取醫治的黃金時機💪。 目前全球臍帶血幹細胞移植個案已超過40000宗,而且數目仍在不斷提升😃。而且全球共有超過100項關於幹細胞移植的研究正在進行,涉及到血液和免疫系統疾病、器官移植、再生醫學等多個領域。隨著臨床實驗一直進步,相信未來能夠用上臍帶血的機會將會大大增加!🤗 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 跨奧 CRYOLIFE|香港第一間臍帶血庫,27年來嚴格維護臍帶血庫標準,為香港唯一連續16年獲AABB認證的臍帶血庫,堅持國際標準、定期公開細胞品質測試、堅持24小時公開全方位監測,迎接幹細胞廣泛應用的新紀元再生醫學! 聯絡我們: 香港 (852) 2110 2121 澳門 (853) 6299 3635 電郵:cryolife@cryolife.com.hk #CRYOLIFE #跨奧 #香港首家臍帶血庫 #cryolifehk #臍帶血庫 #臍帶血 #臍帶血儲存 #臍帶血捐贈
