How is cord blood stored and are there any special requirements?

The storage of umbilical cord blood is technically requires, it must be cryopreserved, and the activity of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells can only be preserved in a liquid nitrogen environment of minus 196. So if you're going to bank your cord blood, find a professional facility to make sure it's in place.

Cord blood storage is subject to strict technical requirements, and must be thoroughly tested before storage to ensure that the cord blood is qualified, in addition, the cord blood needs to be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank at -196°C to ensure the activity of the cord blood.

For individuals, cord blood cannot be preserved, which requires a regular medical institution to use professional equipment to preserve it.

Is it necessary to bank the baby's cord blood?

First of all, cord blood storage needs to be selected in a local formal tissue bank; secondly, it is necessary to compare the technical level and scale of local storage service providers; At present, there are many institutions that provide umbilical cord blood storage services in Liaoning, and Liaoning Zhongtian Comprehensive Cell Bank is one of these families with excellent technical level, with "Nobel Prize Workstation" and national "Academician Expert Workstation". Tips: Umbilical cord blood cannot be stored across places, X-ray irradiation and transportation time along the road will greatly reduce the activity of hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood and affect the quality of storage.

Every umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell we preserve needs to go through dozens of rigorous tests, and all of them can be stored in a liquid nitrogen tank of minus 196 for long-term storage after all the tests are qualified.

As the role of umbilical cord blood is understood by more and more people, umbilical cord blood storage has also been mentioned by many families. Every year, more and more people are asking how cord blood is stored.

Umbilical cord blood has not been used for long since it was considered useless to become an important medical supply. As medical scientists study umbilical cord blood more and more, its application scope is also expanding. From blood diseases to immune system diseases, it is believed that the spine can be applied to more fields in the future, which needs to be explored by medical workers.

How is cord blood stored?

After reading the above introduction, I believe that the large liquid scales have a general understanding of cord blood storage. If you have this idea, you can find a professional organization to consult, and the other party will explain the details clearly. Umbilical cord blood is called "blood of life" and "blood of health" because of its powerful effect.

If possible, it is recommended to store it for future health. It should be reminded that cord blood storage must find a formal professional institution, have an in-depth understanding of the storage institution, and understand the storage process clearly, so as not to cause errors and affect the storage and application of cord blood because the details are not handled in place.

Of course, it is reliable to preserve umbilical cord blood through a professional cord blood bank, and the storage conditions of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells are minus 196, and the cells are in a long-term dormant state under these conditions, so they can be stored for a long time, not less than the life span of a person. Scientific practice has proved that umbilical cord blood can not only be stored for a long time, but also that the umbilical cord blood that has been preserved for a long time still has good activity and fully meets the criteria for transplantation.

The stem cell content in the umbilical cord blood is very high before birth, and there are certain stem cells in the umbilical cord blood. So can these stem cells be used for **?

How is cord blood stored?

Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after the fetus is born. It is collected with a special storage device, not in an ordinary bottle, but in a cord blood bank of a special institution. Pregnant women need to call the cord blood bank after delivery.

A professional phlebotomist will drive a special blood truck to deliver the cord blood to the cord blood bank within 24 hours. And after passing the examination, it is stored in a liquid nitrogen container at a low temperature of minus 196 degrees Celsius to ensure the activity of the blood.

The cost of cord blood preservation is generally about 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the specific fee cannot be determined. Cord blood preservation generally needs to be stored through a blood bank, which can be stored for about 20 years.

If there is a family history of genetic diseases or previous children with leukemia and other immune diseases, then parents should consider storing cord blood for their soon-to-be-born children; If you don't have the above, it is not unreasonable to spend money on health insurance if your family's financial conditions allow. Preservation of umbilical cord blood can be used for leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes, as well as for thalassemia.

How to preserve umbilical cord blood.

After the cord blood is collected, it is temporarily stored in the environment of 4 24 and sent to the "Umbilical Cord Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank" by the blood collection staff of the cord blood bank within 24 hours.

After the cord blood is sent to the cord blood bank, the staff will first check the maternal information in the blood collection room and establish a computer file for the cord blood. Then, the umbilical cord blood was sent to the ultra-clean room of the laboratory for the separation of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells, the test specimens were retained, cryoprotectants were added, and after testing, separation, preparation and other medical processes, they were frozen in -196 cryogenic liquid nitrogen for long-term storage. Each test result is reviewed by more than 2 people to ensure the accuracy of the test results and ensure the safety of the umbilical cord blood to the greatest extent.

The process and cost of self-deposited cord blood.

1.Pregnant women contact the local cord blood preservation machine before delivery.

2.Physical examination and evaluation at your own expense, and after passing the test, you can sign the "Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cell Storage Agreement".

3.After paying the corresponding fees, a set of cord blood collection related equipment will be obtained, which will be brought to the hospital at the time of delivery and handed over to the midwife.

4.Umbilical cord blood is collected by a medical staff at the time of delivery, and the doctor is asked to complete the cord blood collection form.

5.Notify the cord blood bank immediately after the cord blood is collected, and hand over the collected cord blood to a professional blood collector to transport the cord blood to the cord blood bank within 24 hours.

The preservation method of umbilical cord blood is to preserve umbilical cord blood in the umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell bank, and the medical process of preservation needs to go through the detection, separation, preparation, etc. of umbilical cord blood, and the umbilical cord blood is frozen in a cryogenic liquid nitrogen of minus 196 degrees, which can usually be stored for 20 years. The umbilical cord is drawn at the placental ligation, and will not touch the blood of the fetus, nor will it draw the blood of the mother, and there is no harm to the mother and the baby.

There are many hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood, which are important for cell regeneration in the body. Therefore, doctors can use these hematopoietic stem cells to develop a variety of blood diseases and immune diseases, so that patients can regain their freedom. Moreover, the use of umbilical cord blood for ** disease, the cost is low, and the success rate is high, which is a great thing for many patients.

However, there is a certain cost to preserve cord blood, which is really difficult for some families who are not in a good financial situation.

And there are very few people who need cord blood, so some families who don't keep cord blood are also good options, and they can donate cord blood to charity to help others. Umbilical cord blood collection is mainly done after the baby is born, after the umbilical cord is ligated and severed. The collection personnel are specially trained, so the mother does not have to worry about the cord blood collection will harm herself and the health of the baby.

Generally, the collected cord blood will be stored in the blood bank, and of course, the cord blood needs to be tested and separated before being stored to ensure that the cord blood is useful. Moreover, cord blood needs to be preserved immediately or it will become waste. Moreover, not every patient can immediately find hematopoietic stem cells that match their blood type, so hospitals need to store a large amount of umbilical cord blood in order to make sense for patients.

Personally, I think that umbilical cord blood storage has a certain significance, because umbilical cord blood can be a variety of immune system diseases and blood system diseases, even for some rare diseases can also produce positive effects, and the storage of umbilical cord blood is equivalent to taking precautions for health, which still has a certain significance.
