  • Patent number: 11123264
    Abstract: A biological sample or drug stored inside a frozen storage container is not susceptible to contamination. The frozen storage container includes a container body with an internal space, and a partition wall which divides the internal space at least into a first space and a second space. In the container body, the first space is liquid-tightly sealed, the second space has an opening which is in communication with the outside, and the second space is liquid-tightly sealable by welding the container body. A frozen storage container system includes the frozen storage container; and a needle member which includes a needle tip portion capable of being inserted into the internal space of the container body and capable of piercing the partition wall, and has a flow path which is opened at the needle tip portion and is opened at a base end portion opposite to the needle tip portion.

  • Publication number: 20190159968
    Abstract: There is provided means with which, during frozen storage of a biological sample or a drug, the biological sample or drug stored inside a frozen storage container is not susceptible to contamination. A frozen storage container 10 includes a container body 11 with an internal space 13, and a partition wall 12 which divides the internal space 13 of the container body 11 at least into a first space 14 and a second space 15. In the container body 11, the first space 14 is liquid-tightly sealed, the second space 15 has an opening 22 which is in communication with the outside, and the second space 15 is liquid-tightly sealable by welding the container body 11.

  • Patent number: 8877493
    Abstract: The present invention provides a culture substrate which enables maintenance culture of human pluripotent stem cells in a pluripotent state under a feeder-free culture environment, and a culture method of human pluripotent stem cells using the culture substrate. By seeding human pluripotent stem cells dissociated into single cells at a cell density of 4×104 to 10×104 cells/cm2 onto a culture substrate coated with human laminin ?5?1?1 E8 fragment or human laminin ?3?3?2 E8 fragment preferably at a concentration of 0.5 to 25 ?g/cm2, the human pluripotent stem cells can be rapidly expanded in a pluripotent state.
