Multi-chambered tissue containment system for molecular and histology diagnostics

摘要

A container (1) for storing a biological sample is disclosed. The container (1) includes a first chamber (6) having a sidewall extending between an open end (3) and a closed end (2), defining a first chamber interior adapted to receive a sample holder (11) therein. The container also includes a second chamber (7) having a sidewall extending between an open end and a closed end, defining a second chamber interior adapted to subsequently receive the sample holder (11) therein. The second chamber interior is in fluid isolation from the first chamber interior. A removable closure (5) encloses at least one of the open end of the first chamber and the open end of the second chamber while the sample holder (11) is disposed within one of the first chamber interior and the second chamber interior. A first fluid may be disposed within the first chamber interior, and a second different fluid may be disposed within the second chamber interior.
