Apparatus, system, and method for storing medical, pharmaceutical, or biological media

A system comprising:

• a medium comprising a medical, pharmaceutical, or biological component;
• and
• an apparatus comprising:
• a core comprising an annular body defining an internal void oriented down a central axis having a top axial surface and a bottom axial surface,
• at least one retainer comprising an annular body adapted to couple to the top axial surface or the bottom axial surface of the core to form a circumferential engagement cavity defined radially between the at least one retainer and the core,
• at least one ring seal disposed within the engagement cavity, and
• at least one flexible film membrane partially disposed within the engagement cavity, wherein the at least one flexible film membrane at least partially encloses the internal void about the medium to provide for a medically, biologically, or pharmaceutically active environment within the internal void of the core.

A method comprising:

• providing a medium comprising a medical, pharmaceutical, or biological component;
• providing an apparatus comprising:
