Abstract: | Polypropylene screw-top containers are used to collect, transport and store a variety of tissues within tissue banks. These
containers are validated for use by tissue banks but no standard validation protocol is used. We present here a protocol for
testing screw-top containers for leakage, evaporation and the ability to withstand accidental impact damage. Three different
containers were tested, MedFor S072, MedFor S277 and MacoPharma PROT0483. The validation can detect differences between different
manufacturer’s containers and this protocol will be used in future validations of screw-top containers within National Blood
Service Tissue Services. |
