A durable, sterile plastic container with ports, or glass bottle, intended for the storage and/or culture of tissue, cells, blood or blood components (e.g., peripheral blood stem cells) typically for subsequent therapeutic applications. The device provides a suitable closed environment to reduce the risk of contamination and, if applicable, for cell growth/viability during storage that may or may not involve freezing. A device intended for cryopreservation is typically designed for long-term storage in a freezing system. A device intended for culture is typically gas permeable and may have an inner surface that enables adherence. This is a single-use device.
