Abstract

An automated system for sampling and testing a fluid specimen using an analysis station. The fluid specimen is collected in a flexible container having an access port. A piercing element pierces the access port and is withdrawn, allowing the fluid specimen to drain from the container. Subsequently, the container can be resealed.
