  • Publication number: 20210290488
    Abstract: A connecting system for providing a fluidic connection between containers, the connecting system having at least two connecting arrangements configured to produce the fluidic connection. Each container has an initial state in which the two containers are fluidically separated from one another and a connected state in which the two containers have been fluidically connected together by a relative movement of the containers. A securing device prevents relative movement of the containers in the initial state, and a receptacle is provided in which the securing device can be accommodated for enabling said relative movement. The system is usable in a method for preparing a mixture of substances in which the containers are placed in a connecting orientation with the securing device arranged between the containers in a manner preventing fluidic connection of the containers, and releasing the securing device for enabling fluidic connection the containers by a relative connecting movement.
