Zusammenfassung:A method of collecting a fluid sample from an enclosed container, the method comprising: directing sanitizing fluid through a sanitizing fluid inlet along a fluid flow path past a closed sample collection valve and through a variable volume reservoir to sanitize the fluid flow path and variable volume reservoir; discharging the sanitizing fluid out of the fluid flow path; opening a sample collection valve and drawing a fluid sample from the enclosed container into the variable volume reservoir; directing the fluid sample out of the reservoir along the fluid flow path; and discharging the fluid sample out of the fluid flow path and, optionally, subsequently analysing the fluid.
