<p>A container (8) for packaging vials (28) containing diagnostic specimens, or the like, which are to be mailed or transported. The container (8) includes an open-topped plastic cylinder (10) with an integral bottom wall (30) having an upper section (16) of the sidewall which is of a reduced diameter and includes opposed outwardly projecting lugs (22) for engaging complementary slots (34) in a cylindrical cap (12) for the container (8). The upper section (16) of the sidewall (14) further includes a radial groove (31) which accommodates an elastic O-ring (24) for providing a leak proof seal for the container (8). The cap (12) slides over the upper section (16) of the sidewall (14) and sealingly engages the O-ring (24) to provide a leak-proof seal. The container (8) is further provided with an absorptive insert (28) which is die-cut to accommodate up to three vials (28). The advantage of the container (8) is that an easily manufactured, inexpensive readily packed transport container (8) is provided which is capable of passing the drop, puncture and leakage test set forth by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. <IMAGE></p> |
