Abstract: A reusable container for the sterile transfer of pharmaceutical recipients, in particular of syringe bodies. The container comprises an outer case and a sterilizable interior, wherein the interior is microbially isolated from the environment of the container. The interior has at least one holder for accommodating at least one nest for storing a plurality of pharmaceutical recipients. The nest can be removably accommodated in the holder. The container further has at least one container door for removing or introducing the nest into the interior and at least one lock for coupling the container to a sterile space. The lock is configured in such a way that, after coupling to the sterile space, it is possible to open the container door without substantially suspending sterility.

Abstract: This invention relates to a closing device for a housing of an air filter that can be closed with a housing cover. The assembly process is to be simplified and accelerated, while the number of parts required is to be reduced at the same time. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the housing cover and the housing can be connected to one another by means of a locking frame which surrounds the housing cover and the housing in the region of the housing edge, said locking frame being positionable in closed position by means of translatory motion, in which position it presses the housing cover onto the housing edge.
