Founded in 2012 at the BioArk technology site in Monthey and supported by the Ark Foundation’s incubator during its start-up phase, CordSavings is now establishing itself as a major player in the field of umbilical cord stem cell preservation. Combining scientific expertise and ethical commitment, CordSavings is also the only private biobank in Switzerland, offering pregnant women and all families expecting a child the opportunity to collect and store stem cells in Switzerland.
A laboratory of excellence
CordSavings’ state-of-the-art laboratory, located in the BioArk III complex in Monthey, embodies Swiss excellence in biotechnology. Accredited by Swissmedic, it operates under the most stringent conditions and in full compliance with current bioethics regulations. With a team with 20 years’ experience, CordSavings offers families a top-quality service in complete safety.
Innovative technologies
CordSavings’ advanced cryogenic technology allows stem cells to be frozen for 50 years, compared to 25 years for most other biobanks. In addition, CordSavings stands out for its use of the Sepax® system, an innovative technology for processing cord blood. This automated system optimises the extraction of stem cells, maximising their quality and potential for future use. The company also offers a dual-compartment collection bag, which allows up to two different treatments to be carried out from a single collection.
“The umbilical cord can give life twice”.
Elena Hunziker, director of CordSavings, explains: “Today, stem cells are of great interest for transplantation and their use in transplantation is well established in the therapeutic field. They offer promising prospects for regenerative medicine. In addition to cord blood, CordSavings also offers the possibility of storing stem cells from cord tissue.”
A wide range of services
CordSavings is internationally recognised as one of the safest and most respected cryopreservation and biological storage centres in the world. The biobank offers a wide range of services including advanced genetic analysis and payment facilities to meet the needs of families who wish to invest in the future health of their children.
