Abstract
A pre-sterilized system for dispensing biopharmaceutical materials includes a reservoir for holding biopharmaceutical materials coupled to a filter and distribution manifold connected to a plurality of receiving containers. The manifold includes a plurality of container conduits and a plurality of distribution conduits. The plurality of container conduits is connected to the plurality of receiving containers and supports the plurality of distribution conduits above the plurality of receiving containers to allow flow of the biopharmaceutical materials from the plurality of distribution conduits by gravity into the plurality of receiving containers. The plurality of receiving containers and the manifold are sealed relative to an ambient environment outside the manifold and the plurality of containers to inhibit contamination of the biopharmaceutical materials when the biopharmaceutical materials are inside at least one of the plurality of receiving containers and the manifold.
