Connection interface for sterile connection and fluid transfer

A device, comprising:

• (i) holders for positioning a first connection surface and a second connection surface, wherein the first connection surface is integral to a first connector and the second connection surface is integral to a second connection;
• and wherein the first connection surface is linked to a first container and the second connection surface is linked to a second container;
• (ii) the first connector and the second connector configured to form a sterilization chamber comprising a gap between the first connection surface and the second connection surface;
• (iii) a pump configured to transfer a liquid from the first container to the second container;
• and
• (iv) a sterilization agent that is activatable within the gap between the first connection surface and the second connection surface,
• preferably, wherein the gap is an enclosed space accessible through at least one opening, preferably optionally a port.

A connection interface for sterile connection and liquid transfer, wherein the connection interface comprises:

• a first connector;
• a second connector;
• wherein the first connector and the second connector define a sterilization chamber comprising a gap between the first connection surface and the second connection surface;
• preferably, wherein the gap is an enclosed space accessible through at least one opening, preferably optionally a port;
• wherein the gap optionally comprises a sterilization agent;
• wherein the first connector is fluidically coupled with a first container and the second connector is fluidically coupled with a second container;
• and
• a liquid transfer device including pumps and valves to allow for liquid transfer between the first container and the second container and/to avoid back contamination.
