Abstract
A multiple chamber container for separately storing components of a parenteral nutritional formulation is provided. The multiple chamber container may include frangible barriers, preferably peelable seals separating the chambers from each other. The container preferably facilitates the selective activation of the peelable seals to permit the admixing of less than all the separately stored components. The container may include a chamber positioned at each of the opposite lateral ends of the container and at least one additional chamber between the lateral chambers. The at least one additional chamber may have a longitudinal length substantially less than the longitudinal length of at least one of the lateral chambers. This configuration allows for selective opening of the seals since when rolling the container from the top avoids pressurizing the at least one additional chamber and inadvertent activation of a seal. The longitudinal length of the at least one additional chamber may be from about two-thirds to about three-fourths the longitudinal length of at least one of the lateral chambers. Alternatively, the container may include a hanger flap extending from a top end of the container towards the bottom end a substantially greater distance relative to the at least one additional chamber than the lateral chambers.
