Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to a system for sampling sterile liquids in a pharmaceutical environment. The system can include a nesting station, the nesting station including one or more divert valves, a manifold, disposed partially within the nesting station, the manifold comprising one or more tubes, an input valve, coupled to the manifold, the valve being designed and dimensioned to control the flow of liquid into the manifold, and one or more sampling pouches, each sampling pouch coupled to one of the tubes. Each of the divert valves can be used to selectively control the flow of liquid from the manifold, into the sampling pouches.
