Means are provided in the dispenser to effect controlled delivery of a pre-determined amount of the substance contained in the dispenser. A one-way valve is provided to hermetically seal the portion of the dispenser containing the substance to be dispensed. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-33. (canceled) ### Claim 34 A device for aseptically receiving and dispensing fluid comprising: a sterile chamber having a sealed inlet at one end thereof for receiving fluid into the chamber, defined by a resealable member, and an outlet for dispensing fluid out of the chamber; wherein the resealable member is penetrable by an injection member for introducing substance through the resealable member and into the chamber, and is resealable to form a gas-tight seal between the chamber and at least one of the ambient atmosphere and a penetrated region of the resealable member after withdrawing the injection member therefrom. ### Claim 35 (depends on 34) A device as define in claim 34, wherein the penetrable and resealable member comprises a resilient polymeric material. ### Claim 36 (depends on 34) A device as defined in claim 34, wherein fluid within the chamber is sealed with respect to ambient atmosphere during dispensing of said fluid through the outlet of the device. ### Claim 37 (depends on 34) A device as defined in claim 34, further comprising a first portion defining at least a portion of the chamber and the outlet of the chamber, and a second portion defining a hollow passage therein for the passage of fluid therethrough, and, in turn, through the resealable member and into the chamber, wherein the first and second portions are engageable with one another for receiving fluid into the chamber and dispensing said fluid therefrom. ### Claim 38 (depends on 37) A device as defined in claim 37, wherein the first and second portions are slidingly engageable with one another. ### Claim 39 (depends on 38) A device as defined in claim 38, wherein the second portion is slidably receivable within the first portion. ### Claim 40 (depends on 38) A device as defined in claim 38, further comprising an injection member for penetrating the resealable member when the first and second portions are engaged with one another, and, in turn, to introduce fluid through the resealable member and into the chamber. ### Claim 41 (depends on 40) A device as defined in claim 40, wherein the injection member comprises a needle. ### Claim 42 (depends on 34) A device as defined in claim 34, wherein the resealable member is resealable by application of radiation or energy thereto. ### Claim 43 (depends on 42) A device as defined in claim 42, wherein the resealable member resealable member is resealable by application of laser energy. ### Claim 44 A method of aseptically receiving into, and dispensing fluid from, a device comprising: penetrating a device with an injection member, wherein said device comprises a sterile chamber having a sealed inlet at one end thereof for receiving fluid into the chamber, defined by a resealable member, and an outlet for dispensing fluid out of the chamber, wherein the resealable member is penetrable by an injection member for introducing substance through the resealable member and into the chamber, and is resealable to form a gas-tight seal between the chamber and at least one of the ambient atmosphere and a penetrated region of the resealable member after withdrawing the injection member therefrom, wherein the penetrating step comprises penetrating the resealable member; introducing fluid from a source of fluid through the injection member and into the chamber of the device; and dispensing said fluid from the chamber through the outlet thereof. ### Claim 45 (depends on 44) A method as defined in claim 44, wherein the device comprises a first portion defining at least a portion of the chamber and the outlet of the chamber, and a second portion defining a hollow passage therein for the passage of fluid therethrough, and, in turn, through the resealable member and into the chamber, wherein the first and second portions are engageable with one another for receiving fluid into the chamber and dispensing said fluid therefrom, and further comprising the step of engaging the first portion with the second portion. ### Claim 46 (depends on 45) A method as defined in claim 45, wherein the introducing step comprises the step of passing fluid through the hollow passage, and, in turn, through the resealable member and into the chamber of the device. ### Claim 47 (depends on 45) A method as defined in claim 45, wherein the engaging step comprises slidably engaging the first and second portions with one another, and the introducing step is performed after the engaging step. ### Claim 48 (depends on 46) A method as defined in claim 46, wherein the penetrating step is performed after the engaging step. ### Claim 49 (depends on 44) A method as defined in claim 44, further comprising the step of withdrawing the injection member from the resealable member. ### Claim 50 (depends on 49) A method as defined in claim 49, further comprising the step of resealing the resealable member, and, in turn, forming a gas-tight seal between the chamber and at least one of the ambient atmosphere and a penetrated region of the resealable member. ### Claim 51 (depends on 44) A method as defined in claim 44, wherein the resealable member comprises a resilient polymeric material.
