Abstract:
A cell culture media container is provided. The container comprises a body constructed from flexible film and defining a containment area for containing the cell culture media, the body including a front face and a back face, the front and back faces being sealed to each other along at least three sides thereof. The container includes a fill port for filling the containment area with cell culture media, the port being sealed to a face of the body and being so constructed and arranged that it extends from the face normal thereto. The container is constructed from a high barrier optically clear, radiation sterilizable film.
Abstract:
A vacuum demand valve (10) is capable of delivering a flowable material. The valve (10) has a housing (11) having a proximal end (14), a distal end (16), an intermediate segment (18) therebetween defining a passageway (24) wherein the flowable substance can flow from the proximal end (14) to the distal end (16). The housing (11) can be tubing. A valve member (20) is located along the intermediate segment (18). The valve member (20) has a closed condition wherein the flowable material from the proximal end (14) to the distal end (16) is stopped and an open condition wherein the flow of the flowable material from the proximal end (14) to the distal end (16) is unstopped. The valve member (20) is biased in the closed condition and is responsive to a partial vacuum provided by the user through the passageway (24) for placing the valve member (20) in the open condition.
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.

Abstract:
Le récipient décrit comporte un corps constitué d'un film souple et définissant une zone de confinement destinée à contenir les milieux de culture cellulaire, ce corps comprenant une face avant et une face arrière, les faces avant et arrière étant scellées l'une à l'autre le long d'au moins trois de leurs côtés. Le récipient comporte un orifice destiné au remplissage de la région de confinement avec les milieux de culture cellulaire, l'orifice étant scellé à une face du corps et étant configuré et disposé de manière à partir de la face perpendiculaire. Le récipient est constitué d'un film hautement isolant, optiquement clair et stérilisable par irradiation.
