One vault, three collections
Store the cells that matter most to you.
Start with one collection and add others over time. Each is dated and stored as its own vintage, and every Lifetime plan includes the Complete Baseline.
01
Blood Storage
What it isYour immune cells, plasma, DNA, and RNA, preserved from a simple blood draw.
Why it mattersStoring your immune cells now makes them available for potential future use in treatments such as cancer immunotherapy.
From $500
02
Fibroblast Storage
What it isYour own skin cells, collected through a small skin biopsy and preserved for the future.
Why it mattersPreserve your younger, collagen-producing skin cells for potential future skin-rejuvenation treatments.
From $1,500
03
Stem Cell Storage
What it isYour own stem cells, collected by a physician and cryopreserved for long-term storage.
Why it mattersPreserve your stem cells today for potential future therapies aimed at reducing inflammation and relieving joint pain.
From $3,000
04
The Complete Baseline
What it isA detailed reading of your DNA and its methylation patterns through long-read whole-genome sequencing.
Why it mattersLearn what your DNA reveals today and establish a baseline for tracking biological changes as you age, with data you can revisit as science advances.
$2,495 · in every Lifetime plan
Create your baseline today for your future health.
Your Personal Bio-Vault brings together preserved samples and DNA insights, giving future measurements a starting point.

01
Blood Storage
Most clinics discard your blood after an exam. We store it.
A 15-minute draw, at home in all 50 states or at a lab near you. One draw preserves your immune cells, plasma, DNA and RNA in the ISO-accredited biobank we've run since 2015.
- 6 immune-cell (PBMC) vials, isolated from the buffy coat
- 4 plasma aliquots, with proteins and cell-free DNA from that date
- 4 RNA-stabilized whole-blood tubes
- Each draw is dated as its own vintage; later draws never replace the first
- $500
- today, then $300/yr
- ~15 min
- no procedure, no recovery
- 50 states
- at home or a lab near you
Why it could matter later. If illness or demanding treatment depletes your immune system, your younger stored immune cells may help support future treatments that use your own cells.
02
Fibroblast Storage
Your skin cells, stored at today's age.
Fibroblasts make your collagen. They're also the cells behind the Nobel Prize-winning discovery that adult cells can be reprogrammed into stem cells. They age with you, so the best time to bank them is now.
- Retrieved from your inner upper arm in a minimally invasive, 10-minute procedure
- Collected by a registered nurse or dermatologist; no physician visit needed
- Fibroblasts are isolated and cryopreserved at our lab
- Your fibroblasts can be reprogrammed to create other types of cells that your body needs.
- $1,500
- today, then $300/yr
- ~10 min
- 1–2 stitches, simple aftercare
- Simple
- Minimally invasive, no doctor required

Stem Cell Storage
One collection creates a lifetime of options.
A physician-led collection with a board-certified partner in our national network. Your doctor can collect your stem cells by extracting a small portion of your bone marrow or bodyfat.
A bone marrow aspiration collects actionable quantities of both mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).
Lipoaspiration (bodyfat) collects MSCs only.
- MSCs: the cells behind repair of bone, cartilage and muscle
- HSCs: the cells that rebuild your entire blood and immune system
- Cells counted at intake and suspended in your own plasma
Choose your source
Bone marrow
Banks your MSCs and HSCs together, in one aspiration.
Adipose (lipoaspiration)*
Banks your mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
*Lipoaspiration does not collect HSCs.
- $3,000
- today, then $300/yr
- 10,000+

Why it could matter later. Your cells will never be as potent or healthy as they are today. Preserving them now ensures they will always be available.

The Complete Baseline
Storage plus epigenetic analysis shows how you age.
We sequence your whole genome at 30× on our own long-read instrument and read your methylation, the epigenetic marks that shift as you age, from the same DNA in the same run. A testing company can read you today, but it can't go back and read the younger you. We can, because we keep your cells.
Sees what short-read tests miss
Long reads resolve structural variation and hard-to-read regions that most consumer sequencing skips.
A dated reference point
Every future test is compared against who you were on the day you banked.
We keep custody of your data
Held in a highly secure environment. We will never share or sell it without your consent, and storing it is always free.
- Coming soon
cDNA sequencing
Your RNA is copied into DNA and read as full-length transcripts, showing which genes are active.
- Gene activity, measured
- Full-length transcripts, not fragments
Separate add-on
- Coming soon
Direct RNA sequencing
Your RNA read as is, strand by strand, with no copying step in between.
- No PCR amplification
- RNA modifications, read natively

Methylation, same run
Epigenetic marks read from the same DNA

Testimonials
Preserving my stem cells felt like an investment in my future as science advances. It gave me peace of mind knowing I was capturing potential advancements in longevity and recovery research while my stem cells were still young!
Taryn Southern
Banked in 2018
The sign-up and collection process was remarkably easy. I was able to complete everything online and the actual procedure was simple. I'm optimistic about the future applications of my stored stem cells and feel confident I made the right decision for my long-term health.
Tony Peccatiello
Banked in 2020
I decided to bank my stem cells and offer this service as a benefit to my employees. The positive impact on office morale has been incredible, and it becomes a valuable tool for attracting and retaining top talent. Everyone appreciates having access to this cutting-edge health benefit.
John Bogdasarian

Common questions.
Blood is the easiest place to start: a 15-minute draw at home, with no procedure. Fibroblasts add a lasting bank of skin cells from a quick punch. Stem cell storage is our most complete collection, led by a physician in our network. Many members bank more than one, and combined plans share a single storage fee.
