Abstract
A container for containing a freezing bag filled with biological tissue and for cooling and warming the freezing bag. The container includes a main body possessing an inner surface, a first side surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface. The main body is substantially rectangular parallelepiped shaped. The container includes at least one opening in at least one of the first side surface and the second side surface of the container, and at least two ridges spaced apart from one another on the inner surface of the container to create an air gap between the spaced apart ridges, the inner surface of the container and the outer surface of the freezing bag.
Claims19
A container comprising:
- a main body comprising an interior, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first side surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface;
- a freezing bag within the interior of the main body of the container, the freezing bag comprising an interior filled with biological tissue, the freezing bag possessing an outer surface;
- a first opening penetrating through the first side surface;
- a second opening penetrating through the second side surface so that a flow path is formed within the container from the first opening to the second opening;
- two lower ridges spaced apart from one another on the lower surface of the container, the two lower ridges protruding from the lower surface towards the interior of the container to support the freezing bag within the interior of the main body;
- and
- an air gap defined between the lower surface of the container, the outer surface of the freezing bag between the two spaced apart contact points, and the two lower ridges spaced apart from one another on the lower surface of the container.
A container for containing a freezing bag filled with biological tissue and for cooling and warming the freezing bag, the freezing bag possessing an outer surface, the container comprising:
- a main body comprising an inner surface forming an interior of the main body, a first side surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface, the main body being substantially rectangular parallelepiped shaped, and the interior of the main body being configured to receive the freezing bag filled with the biological tissue;
- at least one opening in at least one of the first side surface and the second side surface of the container, the at least one opening penetrating through the at least one of the first and second side surfaces;
- and
- at least two ridges spaced apart from one another on the inner surface of the container to create an air gap between the spaced apart at least two ridges, the inner surface of the container and the outer surface of the freezing bag when the freezing bag is positioned in the interior of the main body.
A container for containing a freezing bag filled with biological tissue, the freezing bag possessing an outer surface, the container comprising:
- a main body comprising an interior for receiving the freezing bag filled with the biological tissue, an upper surface, a lower surface, a first side surface upstanding from the lower surface and a second side surface positioned opposite the first side surface and upstanding from the lower surface;
- a first opening penetrating through the first side surface;
- a second opening penetrating through the second side surface so that a flow path is formed within the container from the first opening to the second opening;
- two upper ridges spaced apart from one another on the upper surface of the container, the two upper ridges protruding from the upper surface towards the interior of the container, the two upper ridges creating a first air gap between the upper surface of the container, the outer surface of the freezing bag and the two upper ridges when the freezing bag is within the interior of the container;
- and
- two lower ridges spaced apart from one another on the lower surface of the container, the two lower ridges protruding from the lower surface towards the interior of the container, the two lower ridges creating a second air gap between the upper surface of the container, the outer surface of the freezing bag and the two upper ridges when the freezing bag is within the interior of the container.
