Abstract: An organizer assembly including a belt and a ribbon. The ribbon has a first clamp member, a second clamp member, and a first carrier portion. The first clamp member is configured to receive a conduit or a support to fix the conduit or the support relative to the ribbon. The belt includes an elongated body that is slidably received in the first carrier portion. The organizer assembly may include one or more adapters that are received in a respective clamp member of the ribbon and configured to receive a conduit or a support to fix the conduit or support relative to the ribbon.

Abstract: A biocontainer including a rigid frame and a flexible membrane. The frame includes a lattice core. The membrane may flex to adjust to a volume of biomaterial sealed within the interior of the biocontainer as a temperature of the biomaterial changes.

Abstract: A carrier for receiving a vessel includes a body that defines a well. The well is sized and dimensioned to receive a vessel including media. The body is configured to urge the vessel received in the well towards an external wall of the body to enhance thermal energy transfer into or out of the media within the vessel. A box assembly for supporting media during thermal changes includes a box, a vessel, and a carrier is also disclosed.

Abstract: A fluid transfer assembly is described that includes a fitting comprising a lumen having an opening, and at least one barb, the at least one barb extending circumferentially around the lumen proximate to the opening. The assembly also includes a flexible conduit, a deformable sleeve, and an elastomeric liner disposed between the sleeve and the conduit. The fitting extends at least partially into the conduit such that the conduit extends over the at least one barb. The elastomeric liner applies substantially 360 degree radial pressure to the conduit such that the conduit is sealingly compressed around the at least one barb of the fitting. The assembly is fluid tight up to a burst pressure of the conduit.

Abstract: A fluid distribution system is configured to distribute fluid from a first vessel to second vessels includes a hub assembly and a frame assembly. The hub assembly has an input cap, a distribution cap, a first clamp, and a second clamp. The input cap defines an inlet and the distribution cap is sealingly secured to the input cap with a plenum being defined between the input and distribution caps. The distribution cap includes conduit connectors that each defines an outlet in fluid communication with the plenum. The first clamp is disposed over the distribution cap and is engaged with the input cap to secure the input cap to the distribution cap and the second clamp is disposed over the input cap and engaged with the distribution cap to secure the distribution cap to the input cap. The frame assembly supports the hub assembly and is configured to secure each of the secondary vessels at a predetermined distance relative to the hub assembly.

Abstract: Fluid transfer assemblies for transferring fluid into or out of a single vessel and distributing the fluid to multiple other vessels are provided. The fluid transfer assemblies are customizable, substantially aseptic, and single-use. The fluid transfer assemblies may be manufactured by solidifying polymeric materials to form a body around a mandrel with protrusions engaged to fluid conduits and leaving recesses in the solidified polymeric material to stretch the resultant body and remove the mandrel with protrusions. The resultant fluid transfer assembly may be surrounded by a rigid housing and valves may be engaged with the conduits and/or body to control the fluid flow within the fluid transfer assembly.

Abstract: A flask stand is configured to support a flask and includes a base ring and a plurality of legs. The base ring is configured to support a lower portion of the flask. Each leg is secured to the base ring and extends outward from the base ring. Each leg includes a body, a lattice, and an elastomeric foot. The body includes a first end portion that is secured to the base ring with the foot portion being opposite the first end portion. The lattice is formed within the foot portion and includes a plurality of members that form an open-mesh frame that defines a plurality of voids between adjacent members of the frame. The elastomeric foot is formed of an elastomer and is disposed about the lattice and within the voids of the lattice. The foot is configured to engage a surface to support the body relative to the surface.

Abstract: A fluid transfer assembly is described. The fluid transfer assembly includes a unitary junction having an upstream portion and a downstream portion, the unitary junction defining a plurality of curved fluid pathways between the upstream portion and the downstream portion. The assembly also includes at least one flexible fluid conduit sealed to the junction in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of curved fluid pathways.
