What is the average collection volume without anticoagulant(mL)?
For a public bank, about 50% of collected cord blood samples are discarded and the average volume is dependent on a cut off volume. Normally the average volume is about 75 mL without anticoagulant. However there is no report about collection volume available for a private bank. It is very important to have enough cells for a successful transplant. An investigation on banking sibling cord blood for transplantation shows an average collection volume of 68 mL with a transplantation rate of 3.4% (Reed W. et al. Transfusion 101: 351-357 (2003)). Average volume received by Progenics is 75 mL without anticoagulant.
