    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to completely closed systems suitable for bio-processing of cellular samples, for example peripheral blood samples used for immunotherapy applications, and related methods of use. The systems are not open to the air, thus allowing for sterile sample processing and transfer of the sample throughout the entirety of bio-processing. Each component of the disclosed systems contains a unique identifier, allowing for traceability of the sample as it proceeds through the various steps involved in bio-processing. The identifier ultimately traces the sample back to the patient from which the sample was derived. Certain embodiments provide a unique freezing bag for long-term storage of cellular samples. The freezing bag has a unique identifier that allows for easy traceability and retrieval of a bio-archived sample and at least two ports, one for sample testing, another for sterile docking to a device that allows for delivery of its contents to a patient.
