It is believed that stem cells can be successfully stored for a very long time in a cryopreserved state, at the current time, no expiration date need be assigned to cord blood stored continuously under liquid nitrogen”. Ultimate length of cryopreservation storage time, continuing to yield a viable stem cell has not been determined. This is because stem cell cryopreservation is a newer science or procedure. We know for sure stem cells can be successfully cryopreserved for at least 20 years and continue to yield a viable / useful unit for transplantation; as 20 years ago is when this science of cryopreserving stem cells began!
