Abstract
Described are flexible vessels that are useful for containing a liquid and freezing the liquid, and a flexible resistive heating element that is adapted to heat the frozen liquid to cause the frozen liquid to melt.
Claims22
A flexible polymeric vessel and heating element comprising:
- a vessel comprising a flexible polymeric sidewall having an inner surface that defines a vessel interior adapted to contain a fluid, and an outer surface,
- a flexible resistive heating element adapted to provide heat energy through the flexible polymeric sidewall to the interior.
A method of thawing a frozen biological material, the method comprising:
- providing frozen biological material contained in a vessel that comprises a flexible polymeric sidewall having an inner surface that defines a vessel interior adapted to contain a fluid, and an outer surface, and
- thawing the biopharmaceutical fluid using a flexible resistive heating element to provide heat energy through the flexible polymeric sidewall to the interior.
