Quick 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.
