Summary

Placental/umbilical cord blood preparation after thawing varies. Contamination by viruses or other microorganisms has been reported and rupture of the bag while at low temperatures is generally considered as the reason. Several methods can reduce or prevent contamination, such as holding the bag in the vapour phase for some minutes before immersing in a warm water bath. Covering the bag with a second, zippered bag is an effective way of saving valuable cells if the freezing bag has been damaged.
