Every picture, etc. I've seen on the FlaskWorks unit has been designed to only support a single cassette. I believe the key to the units are the pumps which only touch the tubes on the cartridge, like the IV pumps in a hospital, they never are in direct contact with the fluid. I believe there are two such pumps for each FlaskWorks units.

Would it be possible to build a device that had many such pumps, say 100 of them, then 50 cassettes could be operated from such a device, anything is possible, but that's not anything that's ever been shown and frankly I think there is a basic simplicity to one unit per one cassette.

In that the vaccine in the cassette never actually is in contact with the unit I don't know what sort of maintainance should be required of the unit between removing a completed cassette and loading a new one.

I see it as a fairly simple, and elegant way of generating personalized products.
