Methods of installing a flexible bioprocess container in a bioprocessing system

A method of installing a flexible bioprocess container in a bioprocessing system comprising a rigid housing having an interior compartment and extending between a top and an opposing base, the method comprising:

• coupling a first surface of the flexible bioprocess container to a moveable platform positioned within the interior compartment of the rigid housing, wherein coupling the first surface of the flexible bioprocess container to the moveable platform comprises coupling a first bearing housing disposed on the first surface to the moveable platform;
• coupling a second surface of the flexible bioprocess container to the base of the rigid housing, wherein coupling the second surface of the flexible bioprocess container to the base comprises coupling a second bearing housing disposed on the second surface to a catch assembly disposed on the base;
• and
• moving the moveable platform relative to the rigid housing and toward the top of the rigid housing so as to at least partially expand the flexible bioprocess container within the interior compartment of the rigid housing.
