A container assembly (10) is provided for collecting capillary blood from a lanced wound. The container (12) includes an integral lip (24) for facilitating collection from the wound with the entire length of the container from lip (24) to curved closed end (18) being substantially the same large diameter for rapid collection before coagulation. The container includes an annular integral skirt (22) enclosing the rounded bottom (18) of the container (12) to provide an stable surface for maintaining the container (12) upright on a flat surface. A cap (14) for the assembly (10) includes an annular space (34) for receiving the top edge of the container in sealing engagement. This same annular space (34) receives the annular container skirt (22) to join the two parts together when the container is open. The cap (14), in turn, includes an annular surface (37) for holding the open assembly in stable erect position on a flat surface. One embodiment of cap (54) includes an expanded skirt (61) for enclosing an annular flange (55) extending from the container adjacent the top edge thereof, the latter being for the purpose of increasing the cooperating surfaces between the cap and the container top edge in the closed position of the cap. <IMAGE> |
