The present invention relates to the storage and transportation of fluids, and more particularly to a rigid outer container for aseptic transport of pharmaceutical fluids. In one embodiment, a system for aseptic storage and/or transport of a fluid includes a rigid outer container including a front wall and a back wall, a main cavity inside the outer container, and an inner wall dividing the main cavity into first and second compartments. The first compartment is located between the front wall and the inner wall, and the second compartment is located between the inner wall and the back wall. The second compartment may carry a biocontainer, and ancillary equipment for the biocontainer may be stored in the first compartment.

1. A system for aseptic storage or transportation of a fluid, comprising: a rigid container including a first wall, a second wall, and a floor;a cavity inside the container; andan inner wall dividing the cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment for receiving a biocontainer, with the first compartment between the first wall and the inner wall, and the second compartment between the inner wall and the second wall;wherein the inner wall is pivotably connected to the first wall by a pivot arm, wherein said inner wall is rotatable relative to the first wall and comprises an opening for access to the biocontainer from the first compartment. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first wall and the inner wall are rotatable toward the floor into a stowed position in which the first wall covers at least a portion of the inner wall. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the inner wall comprises a metal plate attached to a plastic panel. 4. A container for aseptic storage or transportation of a fluid, comprising: a base defining a floor;a perimeter wall coupled to the base;a lid attachable to the perimeter wall, wherein the floor, and the perimeter wall define a cavity;an inner wall dividing the cavity into first and second compartments, each compartment extending between the floor and the lid, wherein the first compartment extends between the inner wall and a section of the perimeter wall; anda pivot joint coupled between the inner wall and the section of the perimeter wall, wherein the inner wall is rotatable with respect to the section of the perimeter wall about the pivot joint,wherein the inner wall is rotatable about said pivot joint about a first axis with respect to the base, wherein the section of the perimeter wall is rotatable about a second axis with respect to the base to a stowed position over the floor of the base, and wherein when in the stowed position, the inner wall and the section of the perimeter wall form a stack over the floor of the base. 5. The container of claim 4, further comprising tubing stored in the first compartment. 6. The container of claim 5, further comprising a biocontainer located in the second compartment. 7. The container of claim 6, wherein the tubing passes through an opening in the inner wall to connect to the biocontainer. 8. The container of claim 4, further comprising a latch between the inner wall and the perimeter wall to lock the inner wall into a deployed position. 9. The container of claim 4, wherein the base comprises a drain opening communicating with the first compartment. 10. The container of claim 4, wherein the perimeter wall comprises a plurality of side walls removable from each other and from the base. 11. The system of claim 1, further comprising a biocontainer in the second compartment. 12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a fluid inside the biocontainer. 13. The system of claim 12, further comprising ancillary equipment for the bio container stored in the first compartment. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the ancillary equipment comprises tubing that passes through the opening in the inner wall to connect to the biocontainer. 15. The system of claim 13, wherein the ancillary equipment comprises a sterilized aseptic connector. 16. A system for aseptic storage or transportation of a fluid, comprising: a rigid container including a first wall, a second wall, and a floor;a cavity inside the container;an inner wall dividing the cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment for receiving a biocontainer, with the first compartment between the first wall and the inner wall, and the second compartment between the inner wall and the second wall; andpivot means pivotably coupling the inner wall to the first wall. 17. A system for aseptic storage or transportation of a fluid, comprising: a rigid container including a first wall, a second wall, and a floor;a cavity inside the container;an inner wall dividing the cavity into a first compartment and a second compartment for receiving a biocontainer, with the first compartment between the first wall and the inner wall, and the second compartment between the inner wall and the second wall; anda pivot joint connecting the inner wall to the first wall. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein the pivot joint comprises a pivot arm. 19. The system of claim 17, further comprising a second pivot joint connecting the inner wall to the first wall. 20. The system of claim 19, wherein the second pivot joint comprises a pivot arm. 21. The system of claim 20, wherein the pivot joint comprises a pivot arm. 22. The system of claim 1, wherein the inner wall is rotatable relative to the first wall between a first position generally transverse to the floor and a second position generally parallel to the floor. 23. The system of claim 16, wherein the inner wall is rotatable relative to the first wall between a second position generally transverse to the floor and a second position generally parallel to the floor. 24. The system of claim 17, wherein the inner wall is rotatable relative to the first wall between a second position generally transverse to the floor and a second position generally parallel to the floor. 25. The container of claim 4, wherein the first and second axes are generally parallel. 26. A container for aseptic storage or transportation of a fluid, comprising: a base defining a floor;a perimeter coupled to the base, wherein the floor and the perimeter wall define a cavity;an inner wall dividing the cavity into first and second compartments, each compartment extending from the floor wherein the first compartment extends between the inner wall and a section of the perimeter wall; anda pivot joint coupled between the inner wall and the section of the perimeter wall, wherein the inner wall is rotatable with respect to the section of the perimeter wall about the pivot joint,wherein the inner wall is rotatable about said pivot joint about a first axis with respect to the base, wherein the section of the perimeter wall is rotatable about a second axis with respect to the base to a stowed position over the floor of the base, and wherein when in the stowed position, the inner wall and the section of the perimeter wall form a stack over the floor of the base.
