1. A system for bioprocessing, comprising:
a tray having a plurality of sidewalls and a bottom surface defining an interior compartment, and a generally open top, the tray being configured to receive a bioreactor vessel;
a pump assembly positioned adjacent to the rear sidewall of the tray;
a pinch valve array positioned adjacent to the rear sidewall of the tray; and
a tubing module positioned at a rear of the tray, the tubing module including:
a first tubing holder block configured to receive at least one pump tube and hold the at least one pump tube in position for selective engagement with the pump assembly; and
a second tubing holder block configured to receive a plurality of pinch valve tubes and hold each pinch valve tube of the plurality of pinch valve tubes in position for selective engagement with a respective actuator of the pinch valve array.
