Cord blood stem cells are very fragile; every step during the collection and processing may cause contamination to these cells. However, if stem cells are stored in multi layer anti freezing bags the risks of contamination is decreased; this is why Thai HealthBaby uses multi-layer freezing bags like New York cord blood bank and Tokyo cord blood bank.

TG freezing bag
The EVA material used is approved from U.S.A. FDA; it can withstand extremely low temperature during cryopreservation. Together with the overwrap bag and stainless steel canister offers the best protection during cryopreservation.

Another feature of the TG freezing bag is that cord blood is stored in multi-compartments offering more future applications such as cell expansion.
