Claim 29:
30. A method for transferring fluid between a container accessible via a container-septum and a fluid transfer assembly accessible via a fluid transfer connector comprising a fluid transfer connector septum, the method, by operation of a robotic system, comprising at least one of:
operating a manipulator of the robotic system for manipulating at least one of the containers and the fluid transfer assembly to bring the fluid transfer connector septum and the container-septum into contact with each other;
operating the manipulator for manipulating the fluid transfer assembly to press the fluid transfer connector septum onto the container-septum at least until a predetermined compression threshold between the container-septum and the fluid transfer connector septum is reached;
operating the manipulator to displace, after the predetermined compression threshold is reached, the fluid transfer connector into its collapsed position, at which fluid communication between the container and the fluid transfer assembly is established, from its extended position, which is a normal position; and
performing said transfer of fluid between the fluid transfer assembly and the container.
