Storage

Once processing is complete, the umbilical cord blood is carefully brought from room temperature to storage temperatures using an automated controlled rate freezer. After reaching the appropriate temperature, the specimen is then transferred to long-term storage in vapor-phase nitrogen tanks for maintenance at a consistent -196 Degrees Celsius. These tanks are equipped with a 24-hour monitored alarm device along with a backup system meeting regulatory standards.

All specimens have unique identification codes and assigned inventory locations in the tanks for easy identification and retrieval.
