Abstract:
The present invention relates to a package for storing, mixing, resuspending and dispensing sterile or non-sterile solutions or suspensions and comprises a sterilizable bag having fittings which provide for the introduction and exit of fluids and solids, as well as means for resuspending and stirring the fluids.
