Cord Blood

Cord Blood Stem Cell Technology and Processing

Cordlife uses FDA approved[1] automated, functionally closed and sterile AXP®II system for processing the cord blood.

Isolation of stem cells is a critical step in cord blood banking. It affects the number of stem cells that can be harvested or recovered from the cord blood. Cell recovery rates are critical because a higher number and better quality of stem cells could enhance the success of the transplant or treatment. Selection of Cord Blood Units for transplantation is linked with not only high Total Nucleated Cells (TNCs) but also relevant parameters like Mono-Nuclear Cells (MNCs) and CD34+ cells. MNCs & CD34+ have been proven to be better predictor in terms of evaluating time taken for engraftment than TNCs.[2-5]

Cordlife has adopted AXP®II System, which is a safe, sterile and automated cord blood processing technology – that ensures higher recovery of viable CD34+ stem cells (97.3%)[6] as well as of MNCs (94.5%)[6] which are more reliable parameters for potency[2][3], thus allowing better chance of a successful transplant.

A Comparison Of The Most Commonly- Used Cord Blood Processing Methods[6]

Axp2 Stem Cell Technology

AXP®II has higher MNC and CD34+ recovery rate

The first private cord blood bank in India to have adapted an advanced processing technology that provides consistent processing of Umbilical Cord Blood without the use of Hydroxy Ethyl Starch (HES) and a high recovery rate of engraftable parameters i.e. MNC and CD34+ cells[2-5], CD34+ recovery being higher than any other available processing systems.[7] It is also a functionally closed processing system which ensures the sterility of the cord blood by eliminating exposure to air contaminants and also cross contamination.

Features

Benefits to You

    Quality

  • FDA approved[1] automated cord blood processing system.
  • Advanced technology with new UCB protocols without using HES.
  • Your baby’s cord blood is processed with high precision, reliable, state-of-the art technology.

    Automated

  • Controlled, smooth, functionally closed and precise separation by an advanced optical sensor.
  • Gives automated reading of the stem cells.
  • The yield from cord blood processing is consistent, with reproducible high results.
  • Reduces chances of manual error.

    Cell Recovery

  • Can achieve a recovery rate of as high as 96.2% Total Nucleated Cells (TNCs)[8] and 94.5% Mononuclear cells (MNCs).[6]
  • Viable CD34+ stem cell recovery has been found to be regularly >97%, higher than any other available processing systems.[7]
  • Higher recovery of MNC and CD34+ stem cells from your baby’s cord blood are engraftable fraction after a transplant and more reliable parameters for potency[2][3], thus allowing better chance of a successful transplant.

    Safety

  • Closed processing system.
  • Takes only 30 minutes to complete the entire processing.
  • Maintains maximum viability and potency of the stem cells.
