Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fluid delivery consumable for delivering a fluid dose to a bioreactor. The fluid delivery consumable includes a vial for holding the fluid dose, a plunger, and a connector. The vial includes an outlet and an open end opposite to the outlet. The plunger is engaged with the open end and operable to urge the fluid dose toward the outlet. The connector is proximal to the outlet and attachable to the bioreactor. The connector is adapted to transfer the fluid dose from the vial to the bioreactor when the plunger is operated to urge the fluid dose out of the outlet of the vial.
