Claim Text:
1. A biological processing system comprising: a chamber having an interior for receiving and processing fluids; a sensor assembly having a sensor probe for measuring conditions in the chamber; at least one port disposed on the chamber for receiving the sensor probe and permitting the sensor probe to access the chamber interior, wherein the port comprises a stem projecting outwardly from the chamber, and the stem comprises a tapered flange and an interior wall forming a stem passageway disposed between interior and outer openings and in fluid communication with the chamber interior; a probe seal for forming a seal between the port and the sensor probe and preventing fluid in the chamber from leaking past the probe seal, wherein the probe seal comprises spaced-apart inner and outer skirts, the inner skirt having a wall forming a seal passageway for receiving the sensor probe and permitting the sensor probe to enter the chamber interior when the probe seal is attached to the stem; wherein the inner skirt has a seal member for sealably compressing against the probe sensor and the stem passageway to form a leak-tight seal; and wherein the inner and outer skirt form a skirt channel adapted to receive the tapered flange of the stem when the inner skirt is inserted into the stem passageway.
