Abstract
A connection apparatus is used to fluidly connect a storage container and another fluidic device. The connection apparatus utilizes a probe that is inserted into the container to extract fluid from inside the container. A connection piece can be used to connect to the other fluidic device. A support is mounted on the container, and includes a spatial coding that is interlocked with a counter-coding structure. The spatial coding is used to ensure that the correct support is used with the container containing a fluid. A ring element codes the system to indicate the fluid or fluid type.
