1. A fluid port for providing a fluidic connection to a container, the fluid port comprising:
a first fluid connection;
a second fluid connection being in fluid communication with the first fluid connection;
an intermediate fluid path connecting the first fluid connection with the second fluid connection and comprising a substantially right-angled bend;
a protection cap covering and protecting at least the bend of the intermediate fluid path from contact with objects exterior to the container wherein the substantially right angled bend is in contact with the protection cap; and
a connection surface, extending continuously and radially from the protection cap, and configured for sealing to a surface of the container,
wherein said connection surface is configured to, in response to sealing together with the surface of the container, provide a fluid tight seal between the connection surface and the surface of the container surrounding the first fluid connection.
