About Cryolife

Established in 1996 – the FIRST cord blood bank in Hong Kong

Encouraged by increasing number of successful cord blood transplant in the USA plus envisaging the huge potential for regenerative medicine, CRYOLIFE was officially put in service on 1st January 1998. It is the first private company in Asia, earlier than countries from Japan, Singapore, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, to introduce cryopreservation services of umbilical cord blood for benefits of families.

As the most experienced cord blood bank in Hong Kong, CRYOLIFE has always stuck to its mission and values of:

  • investing in cord blood treatment and stem cell applications through collaboration with local stem cell research institutions to research and expand clinical applications;
  • promoting public awareness of umbilical cord blood application through conducting regular events and talks plus publishing the latest clinical studies of umbilical cord blood development
