ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes first and second fittings including first and second membrane assemblies, respectively, and a stem member. A fluid delivery system includes a connector assembly, a container for holding fluids and tubing which couples the container to one of the first and second fittings. A method for making a contaminant-free connection comprises mating first and second fittings, and establishing a fluid flow path through the first and second fittings. The systems, assemblies and methods according to the invention may be used, for example, to handle a biological fluid while maintaining the fluid free of viable contaminating microorganisms or preserving its sterility.
