Claim 9:
10. A system for aseptic storage and delivery of biological material, the system comprising:
a vial comprising:
a tubular body to contain the biological material until delivery;
a vial input port; and
a vial output port comprising a luer activated valve; and

a device for aseptic delivery of biological material from the vial, the device comprising:
a tubular barrel comprising:
a receiving end to accept a portion of the vial within the tubular barrel; and
a dispensing end opposite the receiving end;

a filter assembly fluidly connected to the dispensing end of the tubular barrel; and
a dispersion assembly having a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end, the proximal end configured to open the luer activated valve when coupled to the vial output port to bring a dispersion element into fluid communication with the vial, the dispersion assembly configured to be at least partially disposed within the tubular barrel, the dispersion assembly comprising:
the dispersion element configured to be in fluid communication with the vial to disperse the biological material from the vial, the dispersion element comprising a wall forming a plurality of openings through the wall;
a piston disposed at the distal end of the dispersion assembly, the piston in sealing contact with the tubular barrel; and
a one-way valve forming a fluid passageway in fluid communication with the dispersion element and the tubular barrel, the one-way valve configured to allow a flow of the dispersed biological material from the dispersion element, through the fluid passageway, and into the tubular barrel, and to prevent a flow of the dispersed biological material from the tubular barrel into the dispersion assembly.
