Stainless Steel Container System
Rigid stainless steel containers and mobile dollies engineered to hold, store and transport single-use bioprocessing bags — protecting the bag from fill to drain. SeamlessBio manages the complete process: sourcing the right container and accessories, coordinating assembly, and delivering a ready-to-use system under one point of contact.
Sourcing to Assembly — One Point of Contact
Single-use bag containers are not a catalogue item picked off a shelf — the right configuration depends on bag format, fill volume, facility layout, transport requirements and accessory needs. SeamlessBio handles the entire process so you don't have to coordinate it yourself.
Requirement Definition
We discuss your bag format (2D or 3D), required volume, facility constraints and whether the container needs to support storage, mixing, or transport.
Sourcing & Configuration
We source the right stainless steel container and matching accessories from qualified European manufacturing partners, configured to your specification.
Assembly & Delivery
The complete system — container, dolly and any selected accessories — is assembled and delivered ready to integrate into your process.
Available Container Volumes
Stainless steel containers are available across three standard volumes, each engineered to support the corresponding single-use bag size through filling, storage, transport and draining. Custom volumes and configurations are sourced on request.
200L Container
Compact format for smaller bag volumes, process development and applications where floor space is limited. Suitable for storage, transport and — with the appropriate accessory configuration — temperature-controlled mixing applications.
- Storage and transport configurations
- Open or closed lid design
- Foldable variants available for space-saving storage
- Mixing system option with controlled stirring and temperature
500L Container
The standard mid-scale format for bulk media, buffer and intermediate product storage in 3D single-use bags. Closed design with bottom drain access for clean, low-loss draining directly into downstream process equipment.
- Closed, dust-proof lid in two sections
- Bottom drain port with integrated tube chamber
- Stackable up to 2× when empty
- Matching mobile dolly available
1000L Container
Large-volume format for production-scale bulk liquid handling. Available with integrated magnetic stirrer and control unit for in-container mixing, supporting both static and mobile applications.
- Open or closed lid configurations
- Optional integrated magnetic mixing system with controller
- Static and mobile (transport) variants
- Compatible with weighing and fill-level monitoring accessories
500L Container — Reference Specification
The 500L closed storage configuration is the most commonly specified unit for bulk media and buffer storage. Exact specifications for 200L and 1000L variants are confirmed at quotation based on your selected configuration.

Accessories & Configuration Options
Magnetic Mixing Systems
Integrated magnetic stirrer with control unit, available up to 1000L, for in-container mixing without breaching the closed single-use bag system.
Temperature Control
Heating and cooling configurations to hold container contents at a defined temperature during storage or mixing.
Weighing & Fill-Level Monitoring
Load cell and fill-level indicator options to track container contents throughout storage, processing and draining.
Document Pouches & Sight Windows
Keep batch records with the container during transport and storage, with optional sight windows for visual content checks.
Foldable Designs
Space-saving foldable container variants that reduce footprint by up to half when stored empty between uses.
Mobile & Static Configurations
Matched dollies for facility transport, or fixed-base configurations for permanent installation in a defined process area.
Anwendungen
Bulk Media & Buffer Storage
Support and protect large-volume single-use bags used for cell culture media or buffer storage, with controlled drainage directly into downstream process equipment.
Intermediate Product Holding
Hold bulk intermediate or final bioprocess product in a single-use bag within a rigid, cleanroom-compatible container between processing steps.
Facility & Site-to-Site Transport
Move filled bags safely between rooms, processing areas or facilities using the matched dolly or transport configuration, reducing manual handling risk.
Cleanroom & GMP-Adjacent Operations
Dust-proof, cleanable stainless steel construction supports use in controlled and GMP-adjacent bioprocessing environments alongside SeamlessBio single-use bags.
Need a Different Volume or Configuration?
200L, 500L and 1000L are the standard reference volumes — but every container we source is configured to the specific application. Send your required volume, bag format, or an existing tank specification you want to replicate in single-use format, and we will source and assemble the right system.
Request Custom ConfigurationFrequently Asked Questions
What is a stainless steel single-use bag container used for?
It provides rigid support for a flexible single-use bioprocessing bag during filling, storage, transport and draining — protecting the bag from mechanical damage, giving it a stable footprint, and typically including features like bottom drain access and dust-proof lids to maintain a controlled environment.
What sizes are available?
200L, 500L and 1000L as standard configurations, with custom volumes available on request. Send your required volume or an existing tank specification and a matching unit can be sourced and configured for you.
Does SeamlessBio manufacture these containers itself?
SeamlessBio manages the complete process from sourcing to final assembly — selecting the right container and accessories for your application, coordinating manufacturing with qualified European partners, and delivering a fully configured, ready-to-use system. One point of contact for the entire solution, without managing multiple suppliers yourself.
Is the container suitable for cleanroom use?
Yes. The containers are designed to be cleanroom-suitable, with dust-proof construction and lid designs that allow controlled access without fully opening the unit, supporting use in GMP and GMP-adjacent bioprocessing environments.
What is the dolly used for?
The dolly is a mobile stainless steel base fitted with castors that allows a container to be moved safely within a facility. It uses a combination of swivel and fixed castors for manoeuvrability and directional stability, and is matched in dimensions to the corresponding container size.
