FLUID SAMPLER POUCH WITH INTERNAL SUPPORTIVE STRUCTURE

摘要

A sampler pouch (10) having a lower barrier layer (20) and an upper barrier layer (30) peelably sealed to the lower barrier layer to form a cavity and a fluidic sample material absorbed within an internal supportive structure (40) within the cavity. The internal supportive structure is inert and substantially retains the sample material when subjected to compressive forces, thereby reducing internal pressure against the peel seal (60) and allowing for the use of low strength peel seals. The upper and lower barrier layers extend beyond the area of the cavity and peel seal in an area defining a peel tab (70).
