Abstract
A biocontainer assembly includes a biocontainer bag, a support frame, and a capacitive fill level sensor. The biocontainer bag defines a storage volume. The support frame includes a shelf having a support surface disposed at an oblique angle with respect to a horizontal axis. The capacitive fill level sensor is mounted to the support surface and is configured to generate a fill level signal indicative of the amount of material within the storage volume of the biocontainer bag.
