PathCare’s Cord Blood Stem Cell Storage facility is established in reference to global norms for processing and cyro-peservation of samples, aided by the most advanced technology and computerisation.
PathCare’s state-of-the-art laboratory and storage facility is located in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, a location that historically has not been subject to major environmental disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes.
Our laboratory features back-up generators, computer monitoring systems that limit entry to the cryogenic storage strictly to authorized personnel; and paging, computer, and faxing systems that maintain constant contact with our technicians while monitoring the laboratory and storage areas. The facility and systems are monitored twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, to ensure the long-term security of your family's stem cells.

Cord Blood – Sample Identification System
All the client samples are tracked by unique identification which is ensured through a triple identification system:
- The first is a unique identifier and barcode. When you enrol with PathCare, your baby's collection kit is assigned a unique identifier (barcode), and this same identifier always remains with your baby's cord blood kit, paperwork, and sample.
- The second identifier is a client I.D. label which is permanently attached to each vial.
- Third is the storage location of your baby's unique sample. This information is stored in our computer system, which is backed up on daily basis.
