What is cell banking?

Published 2026-09-14Updated 2026-09-14Last verified 2026-09-14
Short answer

Cell banking is a service that isolates a person's own cells, for example SVF from fat, and stores them frozen in liquid nitrogen at about −196 °C for possible future use. Before paying for banking, check whether a future use of the stored cells is approved, how viability is tested after thawing, whether the facility is licensed, and the contract terms.
