Cord blood banking
Improving consistency for efficient processes
Control for reproducibility
There is little room for error in cord blood banking. That is why Cytiva strives to help you achieve consistency, from cell separation to storage and cell transplant preparation. Our automated technologies were designed with this goal in mind. Reliably and efficiently remove plasma, concentrate, or wash cellular products using Sepax S-100 (Sepax 2) system with the appropriate protocol software and single-use kit. Consistently cool, mix, and thaw cellular products using Smart-Max device with appropriate software and accessories.
Reliable umbilical cord blood processing
Use Sepax 2 Cell Separation System for multiple processing steps – simply select the appropriate combination of protocol software and single-use kit:
- Remove plasma – PlasmaFree software + kit
- Concentrate nucleated cell fraction – UCB OR UCB-HES software + kit
- Wash thawed units – CordWash software + kit
Consistent cryopreservation and thawing
Use Smart-Max AS-310 Multifunctional Device for reliable cooling and thawing – simply select the appropriate software:
- Cool with mixing; add cryoprotectant – Cryo-SC software
- Thaw with mixing – Thaw-SC software
Integration and innovation
Cytiva's cell banking solutions show our commitment to innovation, co-development, and acquisition of proven technologies. In 2016, Cytiva acquired Biosafe Group. For two decades, Biosafe’s robust cell processing instruments have served stem cell banks, hospitals, and research institutes. In 2017, Cytiva acquired Asymptote, with deep expertise in cryopreservation. Asymptote’s GMP-ready cryochain hardware and software is built for reliability and traceability. By combining technologies within Cytiva, you can now access innovative solutions across the cell banking process.
