Abstract: A fluid valve permits small quantities of fluid from a container to be withdrawn with a syringe. The valve has a sleeve mounted on a hollow stem in fluid flow communication with the container. A septum is movably mounted between the bore of the sleeve and the bore of the stem. The septum has a first surface facing into the hollow stem and a second aligned surface facing the atmosphere around the valve. A needle is inserted through the aligned surfaces of the septum to withdraw fluid in the stem bore or in the container and is then withdrawn.
