Cryopreservation of CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is associated with variable loss of viability. Although postfreezing CD34+ cell viability can be assessed on the sampling tube (bag tail) directly connected to the main bag (mother bag), results often underestimate the actual viability observed when the mother bag is thawed and reinfused. We assessed a novel method to measure postfreezing CD34+ cell viability, based on small bag (minibag) samples; results were compared with those obtained on the corresponding mother bags and bag tails.
