Abstract:
1. A port assembly for establishing fluid communication between a first container containing a first substance and a second container containing a second substance, the port assembly comprising: a retainer for connecting to a first container; a port housing for connecting to a second container, the port housing defining a cavity, the retainer positioned at least partially within the cavity, the port housing comprising an axially fixed actuator constructed to force a stopper associated with a first container into a first container; and a seal to prevent fluid communication through a fluid passageway between the port housing and an interior of a second container, wherein the retainer is configured to rotate relative to the port housing, wherein rotation of the retainer relative to the port housing causes the retainer to move axially relative to the port housing such that the actuator forces a stopper associated with a first container connected to the retainer into a first container, and wherein rotation of the retainer relative to the port housing further causes the seal to open a fluid passageway between the port housing and an interior of a second container.
