Abstract: A biopsy device handle having a biased firing mechanism activated by side and rear triggers. The firing mechanism has a longitudinally sliding deflecting portion including a post. The post is disposed within a channel and retained by a catch. The deflecting portion deflects transversely when transverse force is applied to a transverse face by the side trigger or when a longitudinal force is applied to an inclined face by the rear trigger to release the post from the catch.

Abstract: Systems and methods for aliquoting fluids such as mammalian cells suspended in a cryoprotectant solution are provided. The systems and methods generally facilitate the aseptic transfer of fluid from an input container (e.g., flexible solution container) to a plurality of output containers (e.g., cryogenic vials) via a manifold (e.g., single-use manifold including tubing). The systems may include a control system, a pump, control valves and one or more sensors for aseptically routing the fluid from the input container to the output containers in an at least partially automated manner. System components may further include an agitation mechanism to ensure substantial homogenization of the fluid prior to and during transfer, and one or more temperature control devices to maintain the fluid within a desired temperature range.
