CariCord operates as a private cord blood bank associated with the University of Colorado, offering families access to cord blood storage with a focus on processing quality. The laboratory performs processing in a class 10,000 clean room and uses the same procedures applied to licensed cord blood units for transplant; the facility is located at the University of Colorado's Anschutz Medical Campus and has more than 18 years of experience, with over 750 units released for transplant by 2015. In 2018, CariCord was acquired by Celularity, reflecting a shift in ownership within the cord blood and placental cell therapeutics field. CariCord is based in Irvine, California, and operates with a small team. Its primary customers are families seeking private cord blood banking, seeking rigorous processing standards and secure storage in a controlled laboratory setting, within the biotechnology research landscape that includes its academic affiliation.
