Apparatus for removing samples from systems having flexible walls and for introducing fluids into the same
First Claim
1. Apparatus for removing samples from systems (1) having flexible walls (2) and for introducing fluids into the same and from samplers/fluid dispensers (3), characterized in that there is at least one sampler/fluid dispenser (3) and the sampler/fluid dispenser (3) is fixed on the outside with a connecting area (4) of its base (5) in a fluid tight manner on a sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) of the flexible wall (2) and, in its interior, has a severing element (8), it being possible for at least the severing element (8) to be pushed forward in the direction of the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) in order to remove the samples and in order to introduce fluids, in such a way that the wall (2) can be perforated within the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6), so that there is a communicating connection (9) between the interior (15) of the system (1) and the sampler/fluid dispenser (3).

Abstract
The invention discloses an apparatus for removing samples or introducing fluids from/into system(s) having flexible walls. A sampler/fluid dispenser (3) is fixed on the outside with a connecting area (4) of its base (5) on a sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) of the flexible wall (2) and, in its interior, has a severing element (8). At least the severing element (8) can be pushed forward in the direction of the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6) in order to remove the samples and in order to introduce fluids, in such a way that the wall (2) can be perforated within the sample removal region/fluid dispensing region (6). The system (1) comprises containers, bags or tubes for filling, mixing, transporting, storage of media, such as biological liquids, sera, buffers, ultra-pure water and can be used as biological reactors or cell culture vessels in the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry.
