Apparatus and methods for the transfer of a fluent material to or from a container. The container has a holding portion adapted to hold the fluent material and a transfer assembly having a flexible conduit and multiple access ports. The access ports are positioned in spaced apart relationship along the flexible conduit, which has a flow channel in fluid communication with the holding portion. Each of the access ports is operable for selectively transferring fluent material. After a first access port is used to transfer a quantity of fluent material, the section of the conduit carrying the first access port is hermetically or mechanically divided from upstream sections of the conduit. Successive transfers that either dispense fluent material from the holding portion or add fluent material to the holding portion are performed in a like manner using the remaining access ports.
