PermaLife® Cell Culture Bag

Bags create a closed system that reduces the possibility of contamination. Swabbable needle-free valves are provided that provide repeated sterile access (and prevent needle sticks). Our cell culture bags have a high optical transmission that allows for the inspection of contents without risking contamination of the culture. The bags are gas-permeable and provide high rates of oxygen transfer to cells under culture. Additionally, water permeability is very low, so water loss is negligible and humidified incubators are not required.

All sizing information can be found on the product brochure.

PermaLife bags are validated to maintain integrity in direct liquid nitrogen and are therefore able to be frozen at temperatures found in both in liquid and in vapor phases. Please follow institutional protocols to determine the phase of nitrogen that best suits your needs.

OriGen does not indicate the PermaLife bags for specific applications. The patient group is not a factor in the clinical use of the CryoStore Freezing Bags as the products are not intended for use with any specific patient population, disease state, clinical stage of disease, nor patient condition. Our existing customers commonly use the PermaLife bags for:
• Biopharmaceutical Production
• Stem Cell Expansion and Differentiation
• Vaccine Development
• Drug Discovery and Screening
• Cell Therapy Manufacturing
• Virology Research
• Tissue Engineering

Store in a cool, dry area (typically 15°C – 30°C), but users should define and validate their specific space and assign ranges suitable for their conditions.

Permalife T Set Bags have 30cm of tubing for SDC welding and do not have a needle-free valve.
