Claim:
1. An aseptic coupling arrangement, comprising: a. a first aseptic coupling device comprising: b. the second aseptic coupling device comprising: wherein the first and second aseptic coupling devices can be coupled together by rotating the locking ring from the indexed position to the intermediate position; wherein rotation from the indexed position to the intermediate position provides a compressive force sufficient to press the first and second sealing members together to form a seal while allowing for the first and second membranes to be removable from the first and second coupling devices; and wherein, upon removal of the first and second membranes, the locking ring is rotatable from the intermediate position to the secured position that provides further compressive force sufficient to form a final seal between the first and second sealing members.
