Abstract
A freeze/thaw containment system is provided, having a protecting body and a flexible pouch, of a first capacity, protected by two plates of the protecting body. The two plates are attached together at a peripheral margin and form a rectangular protecting body. The peripheral margin is mounted in a stationary frame and allowed to be displaced inwardly during filling of the pouch, while the protecting body extends generally planar to sandwich and constrain the pouch. One amongst the stationary frame and the protecting body includes fastening members for attachment of a casing configured for storing the bag, in order to have the bag fastened parallel to the protecting body. Two fasteners for cooperating with the fastening members are distributed around a bag containing part of a second capacity at least ten times inferior to the first capacity. Same biopharmaceutical composition is contained in the pouch and in the bag.
