Abstract: A container (100) having a first end (102) a second end (104), and a deformable middle portion (106) and methods for manufacturing the container are disclosed. The container has a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. The first and second ends are rigid. The container is configured to store cell culture solution powder. Methods and systems (e.g., a dispenser) for creating culture solution using the container are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and graphical user interfaces are provided for providing a user interface based on an identified candidate cell culture media formulation, the user interface comprising a plurality of affordances corresponding to different media attributes of the identified candidate cell culture media formulation and receiving, by the computer, a selection of at least one of the plurality of affordances corresponding to different media attributes of the identified candidate cell culture media formulation. In some embodiments, a selected cell culture is identified based on the selection. Further, some embodiments include providing a plurality of ingredients combinable into a plurality of cell culture media formulations; selecting a subset of the plurality of ingredients based on the selected cell culture media formulation; and preparing the selected cell culture media formulation using the subset of the plurality of ingredients.
