Latest QA Test Results of Cord Blood Sample
| Year of Processing | Preservation Period | Recovery of Viability | CFU (x 104/mL) |
| 1998 | 14 yr 4 mth | 94.2% | 0.03-2.2 |
| 2005 | 8 yr 1 mth | 97.9% | |
| 2007 | 5 yr 4 mth | 96.9% | |
| 2009 | 3 yr 4 mth | 90.6% |
Conclusion:
CRYOLIFE laboratory researchers thawed 6 samples cryopreserved for different periods and evaluated their cell viability. The result is satisfying, showing that the recovery of viability of all samples is over 90%. The result of CFU (colony-forming unit) assays of the samples demonstrate the ability of multiply and differentiate is preserved.
