Integrated Device for Safe Storage, Quality Control and Dispensing of Biological Samples
EP4331360A1
This technology relates to an innovative device and method for the storage and dispensing of liquid biological samples, particularly suitable for cell therapy, biobanking and cryopreservation applications. The device integrates, within a single closed system, both the main therapeutic sample and one or more pilot (control) samples, ensuring that all samples undergo identical filling, storage and cryopreservation conditions.
By enabling direct sampling, storage and dispensing without intermediate handling, the technology significantly reduces the risks of contamination, sample loss and variability, while allowing pre‑use quality control of the preserved material. The solution is compatible with standard cryogenic storage workflows and biological materials, offering a safer, more reliable and efficient alternative to conventional cryovials and manual counter‑sampling approaches.
