Patent ID: 8632737

Claim:
An apparatus for processing stored cellular tissue, comprising: a processing chamber with a sealed opening, said chamber comprising an external wall and an internal wall defining, along with the sealed opening, an interior storage space having a volume, the chamber constructed to provide a leak rate from said volume of less than 4.0 mm Hg per hour; sensors coupled to the chamber to measure pressure in the interior storage space; a pressure regulator to regulate pressure within the interior storage space; storage containing a target pressure residing between a boiling point of water and a boiling point of one or more toxins at a target temperature; a user interface; and a controller coupled to the user interface, storage, sensors and the pressure regulator, the controller programmed to perform operations comprising: via the user interface, receiving user input identifying one or more desired attributes for the processed cellular tissue; indexing the storage to identify one or more target correlates for the desired attributes, said correlates comprising the target pressure; according to feedback from the pressure sensor, directing the pressure regulator to maintain the target pressure inside the interior storage space.
