    Abstract: SYSTEM FOR METERING NUTRIENT MEDIA TO CELL CULTURE CONTAINERS AND METHOD A system for metering nutrient media to cell culture containers includes a media flow conduit which defines at one end means for substantially aseptic communication with the source of the media. In a preferred embodiment, sterile connectors may be used from essentially sterile conditions. A branch conduit extends from the flow conduit at a location spaced from the ends. The branch conduit communicates with means for receiving a predetermined-volume aliquot of media through the media flow conduit from said one end. The flow conduit also defines a portion downstream from the branch conduit, which communicates with at least one cell culture container, each container being a flexible bag. At least part of the flexible bag is made of a material capable of providing at least 2 times the oxygen diffusion and at least 2 times the carbon dioxide diffusion between the bag interior and exterior, compared with an identically-sized, scaled bag having polyethylene walls 0.013 inch thick.

    Abstract: A single needle batch-type blood fractionation system for separating plasma from whole blood includes a disposable flow system having a single-lumen phlebotomy needle and associated donor conduit, a flow-through plasma separation filter, and an in-process fluid reservoir. During an initial draw cycle whole blood is pumped through the filter to the in-process reservoir by a peristaltic-type inlet pump operating at a predetermined draw rate. When a predetermined volume of filtered plasma-deficient blood has been collected in the reservoir, as sensed by the weight of the reservoir the system reverts to a return cycle wherein a portion of the plasma deficient blood in the reservoir is pumped back to the donor conduit by a peristaltic-type return pump operating at a predetermined return rate higher than the draw rate of the inlet pump. Depending on the relative operating speeds of the inlet and return pumps, an operator-controlfable portion of the plasma-deficient blood from the in-process reservoir is returned to the donor through the phlebotomy needle, and the remaining portion is recirculated through the filter. The partial recirculation of plasma-deficient blood through the filter during the return mode reduces the processing time of the system, provides for improved accommodation of whole blood of unusually high or low hematocrit, and enables the use of a smaller and less expensive filter.

    Abstract: A storage system (10) is provided that includes an interior envelope (12) and an exterior envelope (14). Tissue or other material to be stored may be placed in interior envelope (12), sealed and placed in exterior envelope (14). Exterior envelope (14) is sealable in a first sealed position that allows gas sterilization of the interior of exterior envelope (14) and the contents contained therein. After sterilization, exterior envelope (14) is sealed in a gas impermeable position. Each of interior and exterior envelopes (12, 14) have one side which is transparent. A grid (22) may be provided on the transparent side of interior envelope (12) for sizing tissue contained therein.

    Abstract: A disposable prepackaged fluid processing module (20) for deriving plasma from whole blood includes an integral housing (22) wherein anticoagulant (ACD), saline and collection containers (43,44, and 30), tubing segments (27,28,31,56,60), a membrane filter element (141), and other components (63) required in the procedure are contained. Fluid communication between the containers, tubing segments and filter element is provided by a fluid circuit formed by a panel (36) of the housing (22), and an overlying fluid-impermeable flexible sheet member (71). The fluid circuit includes pump and valve elements (130-137) which operate in response to pressures applied to the sheet member. Upon installation of the system in a related actuator apparatus (21), pneumatic actuator ports (100-107) apply pressures to the pump and valve elements to circulate fluid through the fluid circuit.
