The security and durability of the container sealing region(s) should be weighed against usability of the container in clinical settings common to cell therapies.

The study showed that bottles made from perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) fluoropolymer maintained integrity with as little as 17.5 in lb of closure torque, which is approximately hand tight.
