摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for tissue, such as an allograft, storage and preservation for extended periods of time at room temperature in a sterile tissue culture chamber (100). The media may be serum free media. Long-term storage may be facilitated by changing the media during storage. The culture chamber comprises a base (102), a lid (106), a media inlet (114) coupled to a filter (104) and a media outlet (110) comprising a one-way valve. Culture medium may be extracted from the culture chamber through the media outlet in order to test for viability and/or contamination, while maintaining the sterility of tissue.
