Shipping and storage containers for single-use systems
FlexStation® rigid transport and shipping containers are available in standard sizes of 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 liters to fit Meissner’s TepoFlex® 3D biocontainers. These durable plastic outer containers are reusable and collapsible for storage and handling when not in use. Custom stainless steel carts provide enhanced mobility for both empty and fully deployed FlexStation® ROCs.
When used in combination, Meissner’s One-Touch® single-use systems portfolio of TepoFlex® biocontainers deployed in FlexStation® rigid outer containers has been qualified for liquid transport in accordance with International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) Series 3 testing. FlexStation® containers complement Meissner’s line of single-use TepoFlex® biocontainers to provide robust fluid management solutions ideally suited for intrafacility transfers and interfacility transport of buffers, culture media, and bulk product, or simply as a cost-effective alternative to stationary stainless steel storage bins.
QuaDrum® storage containers and FlexCessory™ carts provide additional options for intrafacility storage and transport from 25 L to 200 L.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are FlexStation® Rigid Outer Containers?
FlexStation® Rigid Outer Containers are reusable support containers designed to protect and hold Meissner TepoFlex® 3D biocontainers during storage, handling, and transport. They help users manage process fluids more securely while providing a practical alternative to fixed stainless steel container systems.
What are FlexStation® containers used for?
FlexStation® containers are used for support, storage, and transport of single-use biocontainers in biopharmaceutical and high-purity process environments. They are well suited for intrafacility movement, interfacility shipping, and other applications where fluid security, container stability, and mobility are important.
What sizes are available for FlexStation® containers?
FlexStation® containers are available in multiple standard sizes to support a range of process volumes, including 100 L, 200 L, 500 L, and 1,000 L formats. These options help users match the outer container to the required 3D biocontainer size and handling application.
What materials are used in FlexStation® containers?
FlexStation® containers are made from durable engineered plastics selected for strength, reusability, and practical process handling. Different sizes may use different materials, but all are designed to provide reliable support for deployed single-use biocontainers in routine operating environments.
How do FlexStation® containers work with TepoFlex® biocontainers?
FlexStation® containers are designed specifically to support compatible TepoFlex® 3D biocontainers. When used together, the outer container helps maintain bag shape, improve handling stability, and support safer transport and storage of filled single-use assemblies.
Are FlexStation® containers suitable for transport and shipping?
Yes. FlexStation® containers are designed to support both internal movement and transport applications when paired with compatible single-use biocontainers. This makes them useful for moving buffers, media, intermediates, and other process fluids within or between facilities.
Are FlexStation® containers collapsible?
Yes. FlexStation® containers are designed to collapse when not in use, which helps reduce storage space and improve operational efficiency. This makes them easier to store compared with permanently fixed or bulky reusable container systems.
What accessories are available for FlexStation® containers?
FlexStation® containers can be paired with mobility and handling accessories such as carts and transport supports. These accessories help users move empty or deployed containers more easily and can improve ergonomics, staging, and process flow in facility operations.
Can FlexStation® containers be customized?
Yes. FlexStation® solutions can be customized to support specific handling requirements, mobility needs, and broader process integration goals. Custom options may include specialized carts, modified configurations, or compatibility-focused designs for specific system setups.
Why choose FlexStation® over stainless steel bins?
FlexStation® containers provide a lighter, more flexible, and often more space-efficient alternative to stationary stainless steel bins. Their reusable collapsible design, compatibility with single-use biocontainers, and mobility options help users improve handling efficiency while supporting secure fluid management.
