Resealable container adapter
A container adapter includes a first chamber. The first chamber is adapted to attach to a container. The container further includes a second chamber. The second chamber includes a sealing surface and a resealable interface disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber. The second chamber is exposed to an ambient environment.
1. A container adapter, comprising:
a first chamber adapted to attach to a container;
a second chamber comprising a sealing surface;
an attachment ring that attaches the first chamber to the container; and
a resealable interface disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the second chamber is exposed to an ambient environment, and wherein a seal between the container and the first chamber is formed when the first chamber is attached to the container.
2. The container adapter of claim 1 , wherein the attachment ring is disposed on an exterior surface of the first chamber.
3. The container adapter of claim 1 , wherein the attachment ring is adapted to:
move to a first position that attaches the first chamber to the container; and
move to a second position that releases the container from the first chamber.
4. The container adapter of claim 1 , wherein the resealable interface comprises an iris valve.
5. The container adapter of claim 1 , wherein the resealable interface comprises a duckbill valve.
6. A container adapter, comprising:
a first chamber adapted to attach to a container;
a second chamber comprising a sealing surface; and
a resealable interface disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the second chamber is exposed to an ambient environment, and wherein the sealing surface creates a seal between a container seal of the container and the second chamber while the container seal is being removed from the first chamber via the second chamber.
7. A system, comprising:
a container adapter that is adapted to attach to a container, wherein the container adapter comprises:
a first chamber adapted to attach to a container,
a second chamber comprising a sealing surface, wherein the sealing surface creates a seal between a container seal of the container and the second chamber while the container seal is being removed from the first chamber via the second chamber, and
a resealable interface disposed between the first chamber and the second chamber, wherein the second chamber is exposed to an ambient environment; and
a container seal remover that is adapted to remove the container seal while maintaining the seal between the container adapter and the container.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the seal prevents air from the ambient environment from interacting with a fluid contained in the container while the container seal is removed.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the seal prevents air from the ambient environment from interacting with a fluid contained in the container after the container seal is removed.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the container seal remover is adapted to remove the container seal through the resealable interface of the container adapter.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the container seal remover comprises:
a sealing surface that forms a second seal between the container seal remover and the container adapter.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein a sealed compartment is formed while the second seal is formed.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the container seal remover further comprises:
an atmospheric regulator that regulates an atmosphere of the sealed compartment.
14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the atmospheric regulator comprises:
a gas injector adapted to inject a gas in the sealed compartment.
15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the atmospheric regulator comprises:
a receiver, hydraulically connected to the sealed compartment, adapted to receive a supply of a gas.
