How is the cord blood collected?

Umbilical cord blood is easily collected by your caregiver using the U-Cord® Collection Kit and instructions supplied by Cryo-Cell. The umbilical cord is clamped and cut in the same manner as it would be for normal delivery of the baby. Using a blood collection bag, cord blood is drawn from the umbilical cord. Cryo-Cell has found that the bag collection method is both easy to use as well as effective for volume optimization and low contamination rates. Maternal blood is also collected via venipuncture for infectious disease testing.

The cord blood is taken from the umbilical cord just after the birth of your baby and is immediately drawn into NeoCells’ UmbiliCord Collection Kit blood bag using standard blood bag collection procedures.
