<p>A container (10), particularly for use with biological or similar samples, contains a container body (12) for containing a diluent or similar and a closure (14), one of which carries a metering device (16). The metering device is used to draw up a metered amount of a first material, and the material enters the container body (12) as the container (10) is closed by the closure (14). Further, the closure is configured such that the parts which a use can come into contact with after the closure is subsequently opened are not contacted by the first material, either before or after mixing with the diluent or similar material. The invention also extends to a method of mixing materials in this way, and a closure of this type.</p> |
