How to keep the cord and placenta properly?

If you're wondering if you can just keep your cord and placenta in the freezer, the answer is no. Proper cord and placenta storage requires a special solution that keeps the stem cells alive. They should be kept at a temperature between -166 and -189 degrees Celsius (-330 and -370 F). If they are not stored properly, the cord blood may not be viable and could have little to no benefits. So, in order to do that, you'll need a cord blood bank.

Do their stem cells expire?

You can bank the umbilical cord blood, cord tissue and placenta stem cells and have a lifelong resource. Why is that? Well, because the stem cells will not expire as long as they are stored in a environment that is cold and dry. This means that you can have them stored at a cord blood bank and if you or a family member should ever need them, they will be available for a lifetime.
