Zusammenfassung:	A cell processing system for housing a bioreactor. The cell processing system includes a weight sensor unit operable to detect a weight of the bioreactor. The support may be pivotally mounted to the housing so that the torque of the support is imparted onto a load cell of the weight sensing unit. The bioreactor may releasably connect to the weight sensing unit, and the weight sensing unit may be moveable to either lift or disengage the bioreactor from the support. The connection between the weight sensing unit and bioreactor may comprise a clamp which may have an actuator and at least one arm. The weight sensor may be above the bioreactor, and there may be a compressible element. Also provided is a method of detecting the weight of a bioreactor within a cell processing system, and an independent claim for a method of detecting a leak in a bioreactor.
