Container System for Tissue Stabilization for Molecular and Histopathology Diagnostics

摘要

A system for storing a biological sample for transfer between two different environments is provided. The system includes a first container defining a first container interior, and a second container defining a second container interior. A first closure is provided for enclosing the open end of the first, container, with the first closure adapted to receive a sample holder. A second closure is also provided for enclosing the open end of the second container. The first container is adapted to removably receive the sample holder therein when the first closure encloses the open end of the first container, and the second container is adapted to subsequently receive the same sample holder therein when the first closure encloses the open end of the second container.

1. A system for storing and preserving a biological sample, comprising:
a first container having a closed end, an open end, and a sidewall extending between the closed end and the open end defining a first container interior; a second container having a closed end, an open end, and a sidewall extending between the closed end and the open end defining a second container interior; a first closure for enclosing the open end of the first container, wherein the first closure has a bottom surface adapted to detachably connect to a sample holder having an internal cavity configured for holding a biological sample; and a second closure for enclosing the open end of the second container, wherein the first closure is adapted to dispose the sample holder within the first container interior when the first closure encloses the open end of the first container, and the first closure is adapted to subsequently dispose the sample holder within the second container interior when the first closure encloses the open end of the second container.
