The pluripotent haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) play a leading role in regenerative medicine. The applications of these stem cells have broadened, from being used to treat life-threatening diseases, including various types of Leukaemia and immune disorders, to a multitude of genetic disorders. This article attempts to offer parents a concise overview of the key techniques <strong><em>stored for<\/em><\/strong> collecting and storing cord blood stem cells<strong><em> after birth<\/em><\/strong>, thereby encouraging them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/why-save-cord-blood\">preserve their baby\u2019s life-saving stem cells<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-value-of-cord-blood\">The Value of Cord Blood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Umbilical cord blood is rich in Haematopoietic Stem Cells that act as the foundation of the blood and immune system. Unlike adult stem cells sourced from bone marrow, they are younger and more adaptable, significantly reducing the chances of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in the case of allogeneic transplant.<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-preserve-stem-cells\">Why Preserve Stem Cells<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Allogeneic and autologous transplants of stem cells have evolved as the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/treatable-diseases-research\">treatment for over 80 illnesses<\/a> such as Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Hodgkin\u2019s disease, sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemia major, immune system disorders and Metabolic disorders.

They are then sent a sterile cord blood collection kit box containing components for sample collection. The following is a <a href=\"http:\/\/delivery of\">step-by-step cord blood preservation process<\/a> after delivery of the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How should you enrol for Cord Blood Banking - Hassle Free Process #cordblood  #enrollnow  #cordlife\" width=\"730\" height=\"548\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wM-np0GlHbs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><strong>Parents-to-be preserving their baby&#8217;s cord blood through Cordlife<\/strong>.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-collection-procedure\"><strong>Step 2: Collection Procedure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure of <strong><em>stem cell preservation for newborns <\/em><\/strong>starts minutes after the delivery of the baby. In-Utero versus Ex-Utero Collection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In-Utero Collection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In this method, the collection takes place while the placenta is still inside the mother. A phlebotomist washes the umbilical cord with a disinfectant and then injects a needle into the umbilical vein, and gravity causes the blood to flow into a sterile collection bag. This type of collection is usually better for maximising the volume of cord blood, as the flow of blood will be greater before the clotting begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ex-Utero Collection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>After the delivery of the placenta, a medical team carries it to a separate station where the remaining blood is drained into a bag. This is often used for C-sections or difficult deliveries where the mother and baby require more immediate attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-logistics-and-transportation\">Step 3: Logistics and Transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stem cells are living organisms that become inactive if kept at room temperature for too long. Accredited laboratories insist on receiving the sample within 36 to 48 hours. The initial steps of the <strong><em>cord blood banking process <\/em><\/strong>include utilising temperature-controlled logistics services that streamline logistics to ensure the delicate DNA of the stem cells remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Temperature Control<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sterilised collection kit box is fitted with thermal insulation and cooling packs to ensure a constant and controlled temperature is held during the transit period. This prevents any early cell death of stem cells through apoptosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-laboratory-procedure\">Step 4: Laboratory Procedure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the sample arrives at the lab, it goes through a series of processes described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Volume Reduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its native state, the cord blood includes red blood cells and plasma. These could impede the cryopreservation process. The lab carefully extracts the \u201cbuffy coat\u201d, or thin layer of white blood cells that includes highly concentrated stem cells. Thereby reducing unnecessary red blood cell volume to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/cord-blood-stem-cell-storage\">optimise cord blood stem cell storage<\/a><\/em><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong>and limit side effects like kidney problems due to lysed red blood cells, which could occur if a patient were to receive a transfusion later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automated Processing Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/7-benefits-preserving-stem-cells\/\">method for cord blood stem cell preservation<\/a> includes automation to increase the precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PrepaCyte-CB<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7320703\/\">considered<\/a> a highly sophisticated process that offers the highest recovery of usable stem cells, while eliminating the largest percentage of red blood cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Centrifugation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the <strong><em>cord blood processing methods <\/em><\/strong>that involves spinning the blood at very high speed to separate components by density. Generally, a slightly smaller cell count is recovered when compared to automated sedimentation procedures.<strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage-5-cryopreservation-and-storage\">Stage 5: Cryopreservation and Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final, most technical stage in the process is the suspended animation of the stem cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cryoprotectants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/cryopreservation-umbilical-cord\/\">procedure of cord blood cryopreservation<\/a><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong>starts with adding cryoprotectant (generally Dimethyl Sulfoxide or DMSO) to the cells before freezing. DMSO prevents the formation of sharp ice crystals within the cells that would rupture the cell membranes and kill them as they freeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Controlled-Rate Freezing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>State-of-the-art<strong><em> stem cell storage techniques<\/em><\/strong> dictate that the cells be frozen very slowly (at 1 degree Celsius\/min). The use of a Controlled-Rate Freezer achieves this goal. This prevents thermal shock from killing the cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vapor-Phase Liquid Nitrogen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Risks of the Liquid Phase<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The drawback to storing samples in the liquid phase is that if a sample bag develops a tiny leak and is submerged directly in liquid nitrogen, other samples can be contaminated through any resulting fluid exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Safety of the Vapour Phase<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By storing the samples in the \u2018vapour\u2019 of the freezer just above the liquid, the optimal <strong><em>cord blood storage temperature <\/em><\/strong>is maintained while the risk of contaminants moving from sample to sample in a liquid carrier is eliminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/ebook\/campaign\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/800-X-200-Download-Info-Pack.jpg\" alt=\"stem cell banking guide\" class=\"wp-image-8327\" style=\"width:852px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/800-X-200-Download-Info-Pack.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/800-X-200-Download-Info-Pack-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cordlifeindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/800-X-200-Download-Info-Pack-768x192.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Collecting cord blood is a precious one-time opportunity.
