Abstract
A cell storage bag system comprises a storage bag for containing cells to which at least one connecting tube having a closed end is connected, a reservoir container for containing an additive fluid to which a fluid supply tube having a closed end is connected, and a waste fluid container for receiving waste fluid to which a waste fluid tube having a closed end is connected. In the system, the at least one connecting tube is adapted to be connected to the fluid supply tube and/or said waste fluid tube by means of a tube connecting apparatus in a sterile manner, and when the connecting tube is connected to the fluid supply tube, the additive fluid is supplied to the reservoir bag through these connected tubes, and when the connecting tube is connected to the waste fluid tube, the waste fluid is collected from the storage bag through these connected tubes.
