Abstract
A port assembly for enabling contents of a first container to be mixed with contents of a second container. The port assembly has a port housing that is configured to receive a first container. The port assembly further includes an actuator axially fixed within a cavity of the port housing. The actuator is configured to open a first container by forcing a stopper sealing an opening of a first container into a cavity of a first container during activation.
