Mission To provide high quality HLA-typed units for transplantation to patients in need.

Goals of DCRC T o build a Cord-Blood Bank that captures the rich ethnic diversity of the Arab population & the Middle East. T o develop a programme which results in the highest quality units exceeding National and International standards. E ngage with the International Registries to include DCRC units.

DCRC Services C ollect, Process, Test and Store Umbilical Cord Blood stem cell to be used for future therapy. P erform the Molecular HLA Typing test for patients in need. P erform a search for possible match for the patients worldwide.

Mixed Cord Blood Bank Collection Method In-Utero the placenta is still in Uterus Directed Cord Blood Donation= 1365 CBU Volunteer Cord Blood Donation= 199 CBU

Statistics ( )

Total CBU stored 1564

3 Units Transplants _ University of Minnesota Cancer Centre/USA. _ King Hussein Cancer Centre/ Jordan. _ Royal Marsden Hospital/ UK. 47 Units Allocated for patients. Used & Allocated Units

Cord-Blood Processing : Manually April 2009: Automated By Sepax System Method: Volume reduction by depletion. Clean room Temp=14-19˚Celcius Pressure = 25 Pascals Humidity = 45%

Processing Criteria Volume of accepted cord blood 40 ml. Nucleated cell count 6.0 x 106 cells ml-1. Viability of cells 90%. Pre-CD cells ml-1. Recovery rate 60%.

Cryopreservation The Final Volume stored= 25ml The CBU is stored in monitored liquid Nitrogen tanks in -196˚C, for ~ years. Extremely low temperatures inhibit the cellular activities when a cryo-preservative is used.

Cord blood has been successfully used to treat over 70 different diseases to date.
