About

Beth Baker is a specialist in cord blood processing and cryopreservation, with a focused expertise in the automation of stem cell recovery technologies. Her most significant contribution is the validation of the AXP™ AutoXpress™ Platform, a microprocessor-controlled system designed to automatically process umbilical cord blood stem cells prior to cryopreservation. In her landmark 2007 study, Baker demonstrated the efficacy of this closed, sterile disposable bag set and its supporting XpressTRAK™ software, establishing a reproducible method for mononuclear cell recovery. This work, cited 5 times, provided critical evidence for transitioning from manual to automated processing in cord blood banking, enhancing both efficiency and sterility. Baker’s research directly supports the standardization of cord blood handling, a vital step for improving transplant outcomes. Her validation study remains a foundational reference for laboratories adopting automated platforms, underscoring her role in advancing practical, quality-controlled solutions in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy.
