Licenses and accreditations
We know how important it is to choose a responsible partner to assist you with your expanding family. California Cryobank maintains all appropriate licensing and accreditations and ensures compliance throughout our quality management systems to the applicable regulations and standards.
American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB)
Founded in 1976, the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) is a professional, non-profit, scientific and educational organization dedicated to maintaining high standards of excellence in the tissue banking industry. To be accredited by AATB, the tissue bank must submit to comprehensive on-site inspections that are designed to assure that the bank is professionally managed, appropriately staffed, and maintains policies and procedures to provide consistent quality. Only a few gamete banks in the world have been accredited by AATB.
