An apparatus for preparing a reagent solution includes an enclosure and a container disposed within the enclosure. The container defines an internal cavity having a compressible volume and defines a passage providing fluidic communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the container. Optionally, a compressible member is disposed within the internal cavity. A reagent is disposed within the internal cavity.

A method of preparing a pharmaceutical product in a single multiple chamber flexible bag. A pharmaceutical product is introduced in a liquid state into a first chamber of the flexible bag through a first port. The pharmaceutical product is lyophilized within the first chamber of the flexible bag to provide a lyophilized pharmaceutical product. The flexible bag has a second chamber and the first chamber and the second chamber are separated by a breakable seal. The second chamber further includes a reconstituting solution for reconstituting the lyophilized pharmaceutical product in the first chamber. A user may apply pressure to the flexible bag to break the seal and mix the lyophilized pharmaceutical product and the reconstituting solution to order to administer the pharmaceutical product to a patient.

Disclosed are disposable containers, such as a stand-up pouch, for heating food in a microwave oven and while automatically dispensing sauce onto the food. Methods and apparatuses for making sauce packets and disposable containers are also disclosed.

Use of a packaging system for mutually incompatible agrochemicals, particularly for fertilizers, wherein said package (5) comprises: an external bag (12) and an inner bag (10) thereby forming two compartments; the inside of the inner bag being the inner compartment (10d) and the space between the inner side of the external bag and the outer side of the inner bag being the outer compartment (11d); wherein a first of the at least two mutually exclusive fertilizers is packaged in the inner compartment, and a second of the at least two mutually exclusive fertilizers is packaged in the outer compartment.

A multiple chamber flexible pharmaceutical bag includes a front film and a back film joined to the front film around a perimeter of the pharmaceutical bag to define a first chamber holding a lyophilized pharmaceutical product and a second chamber holding a reconstituting solution for reconstituting the lyophilized pharmaceutical product held in the first chamber. The pharmaceutical bag includes a seal disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber and defining a connection between the front film of the pharmaceutical bag and the back film of the pharmaceutical bag. The seal breaks when a predetermined amount of force is applied to the pharmaceutical bag such that the connection between the front surface and the back surface of the pharmaceutical bag is torn apart to fluidly connect the second chamber to the first chamber. The front film, the back film, and the seal are comprised of the same material.

A two-component reactive dispensing system that is pliable is comprised of an outer sausage tubular member having therein an inner sausage tubular member in which the inner tubular member is bonded to the inner surface of the outer sausage tubular member longitudinally along a portion of the outer surface of the inner tubular sausage member. The compartments formed by the inner and outer tubular sausage members are filled with materials that are reactive with each other and the ends are sealed by gathering the ends and sealed using, for example wire wrap around clips.

A container for isolating first and second fluids, such as beverage concentrate components, until dispensing is provided, as well as methods of assembly and dispensing. The container can have a body for containing the first fluid and an insert, received at least partially within the body, for containing the second fluid and isolating the first and second fluids. A first fluid exit path and a second fluid exit path can both be blocked by a valve member. When the valve member is moved to an open position, flow through both the first and second fluid exit paths can occur.

An apparatus for preparing a reagent solution includes an enclosure and a container disposed within the enclosure. The container defines an internal cavity having a compressible volume and defines a passage providing fluidic communication between the internal cavity and the exterior of the container. Optionally, a compressible member is disposed within the internal cavity. A reagent is disposed within the internal cavity.

Improvements in containers are provided, and in particular improvements in containers for preparing and dispensing foamable beverage and food products. The package may contain at least a liquid primary ingredient and a secondary ingredient and comprises at least one wall defining a chamber at least partially filled with the primary ingredient, an outlet for dispensing the prepared product, and a capsule surrounding the primary ingredient separating the secondary ingredient from the primary ingredient. The capsule may be attached to insides of opposing walls of the package such that as the opposing walls are moved further apart the capsule breaks. At least one of the ingredients may include a foaming agent such that the foamed product is produced when the capsule is broken and the primary and secondary ingredients mix.
