A mail processing system and method for reducing delivery expenses is provided. When a mailer prepares a batch of mail pieces, the mailer will print on each mail piece information associated with each mail piece. The mailer provides the batch of mail pieces to a mail processing facility. The mail processing facility can then combine batches of mail received from different mailers together to form a single aggregation. The mail processing facility reads the information associated with each mail piece and sorts the aggregation into a plurality of batches based on the information read from each mail piece. A carrier can then be selected, from among a plurality of different carriers, for each of the plurality of batches that preferably provides the desired delivery services at the lowest cost for delivery.

The flask body also includes a sealed septum that will allow access to the cell growth chamber by means of a needle or cannula. The size of the flask and location of an optional neck and cap section allows for flask manipulation by standard automated assay equipment, making the flask ideal for high throughput applications.
