A lyophilization nest and method of using the same is described herein. In various embodiments, the lyophilization nest is configured to support one or more receptacles each supporting one or more substances within an interior space of the lyophilization nest. The interior space may be in fluid communication with the exterior of the lyophilization nest through one or more vent holes extending through a surface of the lyophilization nest. Each of the one or more vent holes have a corresponding sealing element configured to selectively form an air-tight seal within the vent holes, such that a controlled environment may be maintained within the interior space when the ambient conditions surrounding the lyophilization nest are not lyophilization conditions. The one or more sealing elements may be operable while the lyophilization nest is positioned within a sealed lyophilizer by depressing the sealing elements into corresponding vent holes to form the air-tight seal.

The present invention relates to a biological (eg cell) processing assembly comprising an aseptic chamber with apertures adapted for gloves to fit and an incubation chamber connectable to aseptic chamber with transfer hatches, doors secured by multi-walls and inflatable seals, stepped collars for tight closure of doors and closed interaction between the chambers. From the aseptic chamber it can be reached through into incubation chamber. There is a docking spigot on outlet wall to interact with stepped collar to define transfer port between the chambers and a disinfectant delivery device to disinfect transfer port.

The present disclosure provides a sample test card and a sample loading method thereof, relates to the technical field of microbiological testing. The present disclosure includes sample wells arranged in an array; the sample wells are connected together through a flow channel network, and the sample wells are filled with a sample through a unified intake port. Sample filling is completed by vacuuming; during filling, a liquid sample is firstly filled, and air or other inert gas or insoluble liquid is filled; liquid sample volume and air volume are formed in proportion in the sample wells. In the present disclosure, the filled liquid sample is controlled not to fill the sample wells completely, and there are sufficient air space in sample wells, so that the sample wells are independent from each other to avoid contamination, and more sample wells can be arranged on the test card with the same size.

The present invention involves a fill needle system for aseptically dispensing a pharmaceutical fluid in an aseptic chamber comprises a fill needle tubing in fluid communication with a pharmaceutical fluid source via flexible tubing and extending through a fill needle hub; a fill needle dispensing tip disposed at a dispensing end of the fill needle tubing; a fill needle sheath shaped and arranged to removably mate with and seal aseptically to the fill needle hub to form an aseptically sealed volume enclosing the dispensing tip; and a fluid pressure pulse induction system disposed and configured to compress the flexible tubing in order to dislodge droplets of pharmaceutical fluid retained on the dispensing tip after halting dispensing of the pharmaceutical fluid. An associated method of dispensing pharmaceutical fluid comprises operating the fluid pressure pulse induction system to dislodge the droplets. The system may comprise a controller for automatically controlling the dispensing and droplet dislodging.

The present invention relates to a city pollution environment simulation apparatus, combining air pollution and UV irradiation in the same test environment. The apparatus comprises an engine (1), a cooling tank (12) and a pollution test chamber (2) that comprises one or more UV lights (3), a temperature/humidity sensor (7), an online gas concentration analyzer (8), a PM2.5/PM10 analyzer system (9), a gas inlet (17) and a gas outlet (11).

An object of the present invention is to provide a bottle holder that is capable of facilitating the exchange of a bottle with a tube, and a biosafety cabinet having the bottle holder. In order to achieve the object, there is provided a bottle holder for a bottle that is used in a biosafety cabinet which has an operation space and is provided with a support rod lying across the operation space in a width direction, the holder including: a side holding portion that holds a side periphery of the bottle; a bottom holding portion that holds the vicinity of a bottle cap of the bottle and has a bottom opening which embraces the bottle cap; and an opening, which continues from the bottom opening to an upper surface, in the bottom holding portion and the side holding portion, in which the holder holds the bottle downward.
