Abstract

A mailer for shipping cells contained in a cell culture device, wherein the mailer comprises a containment system that can absorb and contain within the mailer a fluid that may leak from the cell culture device. The containment system comprises a gas-permeable absorbent material adapted to surround the cell culture apparatus; and a liquid impermeable layer which seals the absorbent material so as to contain any fluid released within the mailer.
