A sampling tube (2) and shipping vessel (52) for use in obtaining and shipping geological fluid samples are interconnectable so that fluid may be transferred from a space (6) within the sampling device directly to an expansible fluid receiving chamber (124) in the shipping vessel. Prior to effecting the transfer, the chamber volume (124, 122) is reduced to zero to exclude contaminants such as air, the tube and shipping vessel are interconnected and the sample containing space within the tube placed in direct communication with the expansible chamber for effecting the transfer. |
