ABSTRACT:
The sampling device of the present invention for taking sterile samples of a fluid such as biological samples from a fermenter or bio-reactor provides a simplified system for collecting sterile samples and preventing contamination of the samples. The sampling apparatus includes a holder in fluid communication with the fermenter or bio-reactor for removably connecting sample collecting containers. An adaptor is removably connected to the holder for steam sterilization of the holder between collection of successive samples. According to the present invention, presterilized bottles or containers are filled with sterile samples without the need to presterilize an entire bottle, cap, and valve sample collection assembly.
