Claim 10:
11. A fluidic interconnect comprising:
an instrument interface including a cradle, and an instrument fluidic interface including an instrument sealing ring and a first instrument liquid port, a second instrument liquid port, and an instrument gas port disposed within the instrument sealing ring; and
a container including:
a lower portion having a cylindrical section and a conical section;
a lid to connect with the cylindrical section of the lower portion, the lid including a fluidic interface, a swing bar, and a counter structure disposed on an opposite side of the fluidic interface relative to the swing bar, the fluidic interface including a first liquid port, a second liquid port, a gas port, and a seal ring disposed around the first liquid port, the second liquid port, and the gas port, the first liquid port disposed along a center axis of the container, wherein the second port is disposed along a line extending from a center of the swing bar to the counter structure through the first liquid port;
a first sipper tube connected to the first liquid port and extending into the lower portion; and
a second sipper tube connected to the second liquid port and extending into the lower portion, wherein the second sipper tube is shorter than the first sipper tube;

wherein the instrument fluidic interface and the fluidic interface of the lid connect to engage the first instrument liquid port to the first liquid port, the second instrument liquid port to the second liquid port, and the instrument gas port to the gas port, when the swing bar engages the cradle.
