Abstract
A system () for removing a pipettable substance from a pre-filled container (), which is closed off by a top () having at least one opening area (), comprises an opening tool () having a tube (), which has a cross-section corresponding substantially to the shape of the opening area and which comprises at a distal end () an endpiece () extending substantially obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube, which moves a part of the top () located inside the opening area () towards the container when the opening tool is applied, so as to form an opening in the top, and a point of attack () for a transporting tool (). The opening tool () is designed to remain on the container () after use. Moreover, the system comprises a transporting tool () for moving the opening tool () through the top, and a cannula (), which is adapted to be inserted over at least part of its length through the tube () into the interior of the container (), in the position of use of the opening tool (), and one end of which can be connected to a suction device () for sucking a pipettable substance out of the interior of the container ().
