Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be derived from many different sources. Umbilical cord blood is a rich source of MSCs. The cryopreservation of MSCs that MSCs are still alive and differentiate into many different kinds of functional cells is very important. The aims of this research are to identify ratio of alive and dead cells as well as stemness of them after thaw. The results showed that the stemness was not affected by cryopreservative protocols or media. All cells being alive after thaw could form colonies and differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts. Ratio of alive and dead cells was affected very much by cryopreservative protocols and media.
