Claim 26:
27. A method for transferring fluid between a container accessible via a container-septum and a fluid transfer assembly, the fluid transfer assembly being accessible via a fluid transfer connector, having a body member and a sleeve including a fluid transfer connector septum, the sleeve and the body member being configured to move relative to each other along a longitudinal axis upon activation of a locking mechanism, which prior to being activated prevents the relative movement therebetween along said longitudinal axis, the method, by operation of a robotic system, comprising:
controlling a manipulator of the robotic system to grip the fluid transfer assembly and activate the locking mechanism associated with establishment of fluid communication between the fluid transfer assembly and the container;
operating the manipulator to activate the locking mechanism and then subsequently to move the sleeve and the body member of the fluid transfer connector relative to each other along the longitudinal axis to establish said fluid communication; and
transferring fluid between the fluid transfer assembly and the container.
