Processing
Processing
of the cord blood sample takes up to 4 hours and must be completed within 48
hours of collection, so it is important that the cord blood sample be shipped to
our laboratory within 24-36 hours of collection.
During
processing, the red cell component of the umbilical cord blood is reduced. This
isolates the plasma, which is the source of your child’s cord blood stem
cells. The cord blood sample is tested for sterility, viability and stem cell
count. The results of these tests are available upon request.
