Abstract

A device and method for docking a vial with a container adapter is disclosed. An adapter may be used to establish fluid communication between the vial and a container. The adapter may be positioned within an aperture in a platform of the device. A notch may be placed adjacent to the first aperture so that the vial and adapter may be removed horizontally from the device. A cavity may be positioned below the first aperture to accept at least a portion of a container which may be in fluid communication with the adapter. The platform may be removable, contain multiple apertures, or may be configured to receive various adapter types.
