No. It is often not possible to collect enough cord blood to provide sufficient cells for a transplant. We only succeed in collecting a unit that meets our standards about 40% of the time.

Unfortunately, not every cord blood collection is successful. This may be due to a low volume of cord blood or if the cord blood clots during the collection procedure. This in no way indicates that there are any problems with you or your baby.
