Based on the provided information, CBR in the context of blood specifically refers to tests performed on cord blood samples.
CBR (Cord Blood Registry) tests every cord blood sample for cell count, sterility, and viability. Also, every cord tissue sample receives CBR's ActivCord test. CBR alerts families if the results fall below the defined parameters that CBR has set.
In summary, CBR uses cord blood samples to perform quality control tests in order to assess cell count, sterility and viability.
