Tools, devices and systems that include a generally cylindrical, hollow shaft, and a suction canister are provided with advantageous interconnectivity features and functions that enable ease of manufacturing, lowered manufacturing costs, and allow for a platform of different shaft embodiments and canister embodiments that may be manufactured in different combinations to form an array of unique instruments. The interconnectivity may be irreversible or reversible, and the connection features maintain an air tight seal between the components. Tools, devices and systems are also provided that include collection functionality that can be employed to manipulate the volume of tissue collected while using a tissue collection feature/function. This may be undertaken to restrict total volume of the collection chamber in a way that allows for continuous suction flow rate to take place while collecting the desired amount of tissue. Containing the tissue to a pre-set volume can enable a user to effectively ascertain the volume of tissue collected.

An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides a device and method for collecting cord blood from the umbilical cord and placenta. The device includes a vascular access device, a portable tray container, and a perfusion pump device. The vascular access device includes two vascular access components (VACs) that clamp onto the umbilical cord at the time of delivery to accurately guide cannulation of the vein. After clamping on the VACs, the placenta and VACs are placed into the portable tray container. The portable tray container is a closable and disposable container which features a dock for accepting the VACs and impaling the umbilical vein for vascular access. The dock is also connected to perfusate and collection bags, located on the outside surfaces of the tray. The tray and perfusate and collection bags interfaced with the perfusion pump device to flush out and collect the stem cells from the umbilical cord and placenta.
