GORE® STA-PURE® Flexible Freeze Container User Guidelines

Specially fitted disposable Hard-shell Carriers, suitable for plate or blast freezers, are available as accessories. They are designed to maximize freezer space, make handling easier and further protect tubing in the Container Assembly.

Single-use GORE STA-PURE Flexible Freeze Containers are intended for storing and transporting bulk drug substances, after freezing at -86°C (123°F). Unlike other containers which may become brittle and fragile when frozen, GORE STA-PURE Freeze Containers* are resistant to cracks, leaks or breaks during cold-chain handling.

Specially fitted disposable Hard-shell Carriers,** suitable for plate or blast freezers, are available as accessories. They are designed to maximize freezer space, make handling easier and further protect tubing in the Container Assembly. If carbon dioxide (CO₂) or oxygen (O₂) permeation are a concern in the application, an optional vacuum heat-sealable secondary Barrier Wrap is available to minimize ingress. The Wrap fully encloses the Container Assembly, including tubing.

The Carrier and Barrier Wrap are optional. The decision to use the accessories is entirely application dependent and at the discretion of the customer. This guide provides use instructions for the Container Assembly, Barrier Wrap and Carrier.
