PERMALIFE CELL CULTURE BAG
An Optimal Way to Protect Critical Cell Cultures
Intended Use: The OriGenPermaLife bag is intended for use in cell culture and in protecting, storing, and freezing cells and tissues.
A sterile, needle-free, luer-actuated adapter is attached to each bag. This self-sealing valve makes it easy to feed and harvest sensitive cells.
- Gas Permeable – Water Impermeable
Fluoroethyl polymer (FEP) film is gas permeable and gas transfer rates for oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are well-established. However, FEP film is practically impermeable to water so water losses from the cell culture are negligible. Humidified incubators – potential sources of mold and contamination – are not necessary.
The PermaLife bag is transparent, allowing observation of the cell culture under a microscope without risking contamination of the culture. Observation of cell cultures under a microscope is easy and can be done without risking contamination of the sample.
FEP film has no plasticizers, is chemically inert, and is biocompatible so the bag will not alter the culture or the medium. FEP film neither combines with any element, nor gives up any components of its own to the solution held in the cell culture bag.
