1. A fluid container comprising:

  • (a) a first vessel;

    (b) a second vessel;

    (c) a fluid channel extending between the first and second vessels;

    (d) a fluid exit port;

    (e) a sealing partition preventing fluid flow from the second vessel to the fluid exit port;

    (f) a cantilevered lance having a piercing point and disposed with the piercing point adjacent to the sealing partition and configured to be deflected until the piercing point pierces the sealing partition, wherein piercing the sealing partition allows fluid to flow from the first vessel to the fluid exit port via the second vessel; and

    (g) a substrate carrying (a)-(f), wherein the substrate carries both the sealing partition and the cantilevered lance.
