Cryo-Cell Cord Blood Bank currently uses a hydroxyethyl starch (Hespan®) method to reduce the number of red blood cells, isolating the nucleated white blood cell fraction, which contains the stem cells. These cells are then mixed with DMSO, the cryoprotectant, and Dextran, and stored in a special compartmentalized cryobag.
