Abstract: An exemplary storage arrangement can be provided, which can include a first section and a second section. The first section can be moveable between a first configuration and a second configuration and can have at least one slot. The second section can be coupled to the first section and comprising at least one protrusion configured and dimensioned to mate with the slot(s) to facilitate movement of the first section. In the exemplary storage arrangement, the space formed by the first and second sections can receive a portable transportation arrangement, and at least one of the first section or the second section can be coupled to a configuration provided at or near a patient. Alternatively or in addition, the exemplary storage arrangement can include a locking mechanism which can be configured to secure at least one portion of the first section to the second section.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reducing agent tank for holding a liquid reducing agent as a so-called SCR tank. The SCR tank comprises at least one device for deaerating the tank, which device is closed off by means of at least one pressure-compensating element which permits an exchange of gas but which closes off the tank in a liquid-tight manner. The reducing agent tank also comprises at least one deaeration line which communicates with the pressure-compensating element, with the deaeration line being guided at least to a point above the maximum permissible fording level of the tank when the tank is in the installation position. The deaeration line has at least one first downward-sloping line section which branches into a second rising line section for deaeration and a third falling line section for gravity-induced condensate drainage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a reducing agent tank 1 for holding a liquid reducing agent as a so-called SCR tank. The SCR tank comprises at least one device for deaerating the tank, which device is closed off by means of at least one pressure-compensating element which permits an exchange of gas but which closes off the tank in a pressure-tight manner. The reducing agent tank (1) also comprises at least one deaeration line (5) which communicates with the pressure-compensating element, with the deaeration line (5) being guided at least to a point above the maximum permissible fording level of the tank when the tank is in the installation position. The deaeration line (5) has at least one first downward-sloping line section (5a) which branches into a second rising line section (5b) for deaeration and a third falling line section (5c) for gravity-induced condensate drainage (FIG. 1).

Abstract: This invention provides an apparatus for growing cells under static or dynamic physiological pressure which contains a cell culture cassette having a cassette frame; two side walls secured to each side of the cassette frame to form a cell growing chamber, and at least one side wall comprises a cell growth surface. The apparatus also contains a means for adjusting fluid pressure or flow, for providing culture media or cell culture, or for sampling cell culture or culture media within the cell growing chamber. The apparatus further contains an adapter which contains two side assemblies where each side assembly includes a frame with a rigid support that fits over the cell culture cassette. The side assemblies joined by a hinge at one end and positioned over the two side walls of the cell culture cassette. The apparatus further contains a means to secure the two side assemblies over the two side walls of the cell culture cassette.

Abstract: An apparatus for growing cells in a 2-D cell cassette having a matrix for cell growth under pressure comprising two side assemblies which include a frame with a rigid support that fits over the 2-D cell cassette, with said assemblies positioned on either side of the cassette over the solid support sides, and a means to secure the sides of the cassette. The invention also provides different uses of this apparatus.
