Methods are described for packaging a foldable container including covering a multi-monodose container in an expanded configuration with a hermetically-sealable overwrap, the multi-monodose container including a row of interconnected monodose pharmaceutical vials, each of the monodose pharmaceutical vials enclosing at least one pharmaceutical agent, the interconnected monodose pharmaceutical vials connected to one another by one or more articulating joints sufficiently flexible to form a folded configuration of the multi-monodose container; exerting a force on at least one of the monodose pharmaceutical vials; bending the one or more articulating joints to form the folded configuration of the multi-monodose container in response to the exerted force; and sealing the hermetically-sealable overwrap to form a hermetic seal around the folded configuration of the multi-monodose container.

An eyewash dispensing container to store and deliver an eyewash fluid that is particularly suitable for terminal sterilization. The container includes a base and a locking lid with a tamper indicator. The container is able to be opened quickly and deliver the eyewash fluid directly to an eye of a user.

Disclosed are a device and method for fully enclosed and fully automatic dispensing of cells. The device includes a sample feeding module, a liquid replenishment module, and a liquid distribution module. By means of the device, cell dispensing can be performed under enclosed conditions, such that the risk of infection due to contact with an external environment is reduced. In addition, the survival rate of dispensed cells is ensured, and the degree of precision of cells obtained after dispensing is high, thereby improving the quality of the dispensed cells.

A filling device for filling nested containers, which are arranged in at least one row in a nest and are conveyable by means of a conveying device, having a filling station for simultaneously filling the containers of one row, having at least one weighing station for weighing a row of containers, having a first gripping device for simultaneously removing a row of containers to be filled and for transferring said containers to a first weighing station of the at least one weighing station and for transferring the weighed containers from the at least one weighing station back into the nest or into a different nest. The filling device additionally comprises a second gripping device, for simultaneously removing the row of filled and weighed containers and for transferring said containers to the first weighing station or to a second weighing station of the at least one weighing station and for transferring the row of filled and twice weighed containers from the at least one weighing station back into the nest or into a different nest.

Disclosed is a process for the treatment or processing of containers that serve for storing, or contain, substances for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications, wherein the containers are conveyed automatically, by a conveyor, past at least one processing station or pass it for the treatment or processing. In the process, a plurality of containers is conveyed by the conveyor while being held by a carrier in a regular arrangement. The containers held on the carrier are raised to a raised position for the treatment or processing at or in the respective processing station and are lowered after the treatment or processing, to be held again on the carrier in the regular arrangement. The carrier is configured such that the containers can be held on the carrier during the entire process. A negative pressure acts on the bottoms of the containers in order to lower them.

A method corrects the position and deviation of a syringe needle in a machine for automatically preparing intravenous medication. The machine includes an automatic actuator, together with a control system, in which are placed the syringe and a one-dimensional position sensor including a measuring plane. The correction method includes steps in which the position sensor obtains position coordinates of a first and a second point of the needle, and steps of correcting the position and deviation error of the needle, by the control system of the automatic actuator.

A device for placing threaded lids on containers includes a holder for lids to be placed and a mechanism for retaining the lids stored in the holder. The retaining mechanism has a predetermined retaining position in which the lids stored in the holder are retained and a release position in which one of the lids stored in the holder is dispensed. The device also includes a lid positioner, which places a threaded lid on a container through a first rotation about a first axis when the positioner is in the placing position. When the position is in the receiving position, the positioner causes the retaining mechanism to change from the predetermined retaining position to the release position through rotation about the first axis.

An isolator system for filling a container with a liquid, the isolator system comprises a filling module having a filling station for filling the container with the liquid, a stopper placing station for placing a stopper on the filled container, and a plurality of handling devices for handling the container within the filling module; a first transfer station for transferring the container to be filled into the filling module; a second transfer station for transferring the filled container out of the filling module; and a control device. The present application also discloses a transfer station for transferring a container and several methods.

A containment system for placement in an installation space includes a housing which encloses a process chamber, a dosing station for the aseptic filling of vessels with a liquid, positioned in the process chamber, a transfer port leading into the process chamber, and a functional module which can be moved up to the dosing station, The module includes an element carrier, functional elements installed on the element carrier, and media feed lines connected to the functional elements. The functional module with the element carrier, the functional elements, and the media feed lines is movable from an initial position, through a transfer port leading into the process chamber, to an operating position at the dosing station.
