<p>A transport package for containing sample tubes and similar materials prone to leakage comprises a rigid, crush resistant tube e.g. wound from cardboard and having an integrally formed super-absorbent lining (2), the ends of the tube being closed by end caps (4). The transport package may be placed into a protective envelope (11) comprising a closely fitting pouch for the package and a further pouch for accompanying documentation. Several such packages or packages in envelopes may be placed in a tertiary container comprising a tube forming a main body of the tertiary container (60). This tube may be divided into two sections (64,66), held together by a shrink fit band (40) or outer covering. One end of the tube is formed with a permanent closure (70) and the other end is closable by a lid (72) having an inner rim (74) with a lip (76) that engages between the two sections (64,66) of the tube.</p> |
