The present invention provides fluid sampling device comprising a sampling
head having a series of openings through it from one major surface to the
other, a plurality of conduits at the downstream side of the openings and
a plurality of sample containers. The openings are selectively opened and
closed through the use of switches mounted within each opening and the
head of the device members, each switch being movable within said head
between closed and open positions. The conduits (e.g., flexible tubing)
are equal in number to the openings, with each conduit connected to an
individual port fitting arranged on a face of the head downstream of the
respective opening. Similarly, the sample containers (e.g., flexible
bags) are equal in number to the conduits, with each sample container
connected to an individual conduit opposite the connection to the port. A
specific configuration for the device, as well as a kit containing
pre-sterilized components of the fluid sampling device, are also
described.
