Sample Vessels

摘要

A sample vessel may include a segmented tubule having an opening for receiving a sample material and at least one compressible section, the at least one compressible section having a wall constructed at least partially from a material having sufficient flexibility to permit compression of opposed sections of the wall into contact, and at least two segments of the tubule being fluidically isolated from one another by a bonding of opposed sections of the tubule wall to one another. The sample vessel may also include an interface in fluid communication with the opening in the tubule, the interface facilitating delivery of a sample material to the tubule through the opening.

1. A sample vessel comprising:
a sample tubule having walls that oppose one another having at least one compressible section, the at least one compressible section having a wall constructed at least partially from a material having sufficient flexibility to permit compression of opposed sections of the wall into contact with one another; a reservoir configured to contain fluid delivered from an external device; and a pressure gate that provides a fluid channel to permit selective displacement of a fluid between the tubule and the external device.
