Abstract:
1. A reaction bottle, comprising: a container, with a container top and a container interior; a bottle cap removeably attachable to the container top, the bottle cap having a cap top and a cap cavity; a septa attached to the bottle cap and configured to releasably seal the container when the bottle cap is attached to the container top; a needle holder attached to the cap top; a hollow needle attached to the needle holder and located in the cap cavity; a needle conduit in fluid communication with the hollow needle; a pivot member located in the cavity, and attached to the cap top; at least one linearly moveable member located in the cavity and in operational communication with the septa; a pivoting member located in the cavity, the pivoting member having a first end and a second end, the first end in operable communication with the linearly moveable member, and wherein the pivoting member is configured to pivot about the pivot member; and an extended member attached to the needle holder, and in operable communication with the second end of the pivoting member; wherein the septa is configured to deform from an at rest state into a second state when pressure within the container interior reaches a first threshold value and the septa deforms and moves the linearly moveable member up towards the cap top, whereupon the pivoting member pivots about the pivot member, and the pivoting member pushes down on the extended member, such that the needle holder and hollow needle are moved down towards the septa, whereupon the septa is punctured by the hollow needle, and the septa is further configured to return to the at rest state when the pressure within the container reaches a second threshold value thus allowing the linearly moveable member to move to its original position thus causing the pivoting member to pivot about the pivot member, and thus move the extended member up towards the cap top, and the needle holder and hollow needle moves up toward the cap top along with the extended member, thus moving the hollow needle away form the septa whereupon the septa reseals upon being no longer punctured by the hollow needle.
