美国宇航局在纳米卫星有效载荷上首次使用赛多利斯一次性无菌液体处理袋

赛多利斯无菌袋随火箭进入外太空

     这是Flexboy不平凡的应用：美国航空航天局将首次使用50毫升和150毫升的赛多利斯一次性无菌袋进行外太空研究， 美国政府机构，美国国家航空航天局艾姆斯研究中心，硅谷，CA，计划发射带有细胞培养载荷的纳米卫星进入太空，以检测在零重力环境下细胞的生长情况。这些 细胞培养物将被存储在一个赛多利斯Flexboy无菌储液袋中。纳米卫星上配备一个微型实验室， 其中的光学传感器可以监测细胞生长情况，测量体积不超过一个鞋盒的大小，最多重15公斤或33磅。此项研究的使命具有和测试治疗真菌感染药物以及测试抑制 细菌生长的抗生素药物具有类似的意义。美国国家航空航天局进行此项研究的目的在于为长时间暴露在失重的条件下的宇航员提供更好的医疗服务。

Flexboy令人兴奋的应用：参加美国宇航局的航天生物实验

This is no ordinary application for Flexboy: NASA will be using the 50 ml and 150 ml version of Sartorius single-use bags for the first time to conduct research in outer space. The U.S. governmental agency, NASA Ames Research Center, Silicon Valley, CA, plans to launch nanosatellites, with a payload of cell cultures, into space in order to examine cell growth in a zero-gravity environment. These cultures will be stored in a Sartorius Flexboy. Measuring not much larger than a shoe box and weighing 15 kilograms, or 33 pounds, at most, the nanosatellites are equipped with a mini-lab, in which cell growth is monitored by optical sensors. There have been missions similar to these in order to test medications for treating fungal infections as well as antibiotics for curbing bacterial growth. Such research conducted by NASA is designed to provide better medical care to astronauts exposed to the conditions of weightlessness over long periods.
