What is standard (or SOP) of barcode labeling for cord blood bank?

Best answer:

I found this in their “Processing & Banking” FAQs page. It’s not their SOP, which is probably proprietary information, but it does tell you how they process the blood.

Your sample ID is ensured through a triple identification system:

1.The first is a unique identifier and barcode. When you enroll with Cord Blood Registry, your baby’s collection kit is assigned a unique identifier (barcode), and this same identifier always remains with your baby’s cord blood kit, paperwork, and sample. Each sample is encased in an outer protective layer to ensure the barcode never detaches from the sample.

2.The second identifier is a client I.D. label which is permanently attached to each vial.

3.Third is the storage location of your baby’s unique sample. This information is stored in our computer system, which is backed up daily, via optical disk and a hardcopy system.
