    Abstract: Assemblies and methods process cord blood in a sterile fashion to avoid exposure to bacterial contamination. A transfer tube couples a cord blood processing container to an other container, which, in use, holds a cryopreservative solution. The transfer tube has an interior diameter that is restricted substantially along its entire length, to meter the introduction of cryopreservation solution into cord blood at a desired rate, thereby avoiding damage or trauma to the cord blood cells.

    Abstract: 2075704 9211058 PCTABS00014 A system and method for treating a fluid carrying a biological contaminant to which a photoactive material has been bound include a treatment device (20) that defines a flow passage with a gap (26). The system and method operate to establish a flow of fluid from the inlet end (68) of the gap (26) to the outlet end (70) of the gap (26). The system and method expose the fluid, as it transits the gap (26) to a source of radiation (52) that activates the photoactive material bound to the contaminant. The system and method also mix the fluid as it flows within the gap (26).
