Abstract

The application of a cryogenic storage system is growing fast in different kinds of fields including to keep umbilical cord blood. Umbilical cord blood stem plays an important role in the treatment of a blood and immune system related genetic diseases, cancers and blood disorders. This study gives the optimal cryogenic system for cord blood banking. Three-dimensional models are employed and finite element method is used to do structure analyses of all designed models. The results shows model 3 have a good structure properties, and model 4 shows the best structure property as its maximum is 92.9 MPa. The other is too dangerous or infeasible to support load condition that allowed by STS 304. The results can be used in the design of these kinds of systems to obtain good predictions of trends over a wide range of design alternatives and operating conditions.
