An apparatus, having a flexible-walled vessel (20) compatible with a fluent substance not for direct consumption by mammals, for transporting the fluent substance and dispensing during research, testing, and other related processes. The process is separate from a filling-site where the vessel is filled. The vessel, as oriented by a support framework (40), has an upper-en d (27) and a lower-portion (29) with at least one port (36) through which the fluent substance is dispensed, and an outwardly-facing indicia (31). This po rt is in communication with a primary flow channel (24B) and a valve (24A) for controlling the dispensing of a preselected amount of the substance as neede d during the process. A second flow channel (52B), in communication with a second port (52A) of the vessel's lower-end, may be added for filling the vessel at the filling-site. Also, an associated method of transporting a fluent substance for dispensing during a production/test process that uses a flexible-walled vessel is set forth.
