Abstract: A transfer device for the contamination free transfer of biological material from a sealed chamber to a recipient. The transfer device includes a support having a first docking area and a second docking area. The first docking area has at least one inlet port, each inlet port creating a fluid connection with one sealed chamber. The second docking area has at least one outlet port, each outlet port creating a fluid connection with a recipient. The first docking area further includes a piercing element designed for piercing a sealing element of a sealed chamber in order to allow, together with at least one inlet port, a fluid connection between a pierced sealed chamber and the inlet port, to allow a contamination free transfer of the biological material from the pierced sealed chamber to at least one recipient.

Abstract: A device for sealing liquids inside a selected zone of a fluidic path that runs in a fluidic assembly and then for cutting or removing the thus sealed zone in a spillage- and contamination-free manner from said fluidic assembly. Methods of performing such contamination- and leakage-free sealing and cutting of selected fluidic path zones comprising a liquid of interest from the remaining parts of fluidic assemblies, preferably in a fully automated manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transfer device (100, 200) for the contamination free transfer of at least a biological material from at least a sealed chamber (1), sealed by sealing means, to at least a recipient (301), the transfer device (100, 200) comprising a support (102, 202) that comprises a first docking area (103, 203) and a second docking area (104, 204), said first docking area (103, 203) comprising at least an inlet port (108, 208), each inlet port (108, 208) being designed for creating a fluid connection with one sealed chamber (1), and said second docking area (104, 204) comprising at least an outlet port (113, 213), each outlet port (113, 213) being designed for creating a fluid connection with a recipient (301), at least one inlet port (108, 208) being in fluid connection with at least one outlet port (113, 213), the transfer device (100, 200) further comprising piercing means being designed for piercing the sealing means of at least a sealed chamber (1) in order to allow, together with at
