Abstract
A mixing and dispensing receptacle including a first container defining a first nozzle portion and a first sealed chamber retaining a first substance and a rupturable wall portion separating the first chamber from the interior of the first nozzle portion; and a second container defining a second chamber retaining a second substance and a second nozzle portion disposed at least partially within the interior of the first nozzle portion and circumferentially sealed thereto so as to sealingly isolate the second substance. The second nozzle portion is movable axially relative to the first nozzle portion so as to pierce the rupturable wall portion and provide communication between the first and second chambers. One of the nozzle portions comprises a tapered outer surface adapted for engagement with a mating coupling member and an aseptic shield covers the tapered outer surface and is removable therefrom. After penetration of the rupturable wall portion by the second nozzle portion, the first and second substances are transferred between the first and second chambers to provide mixing thereof. The tapered outer surfaces is then engaged with a mating coupling member and the mixed substances discharged thereinto. Prior to its removal, the aseptic shield protects the tapered nozzle surface from any form of contamination.
