A device for grinding and transporting solids, such as surgical tissue samples, is disclosed which comprises in a preferred form a container having an upper portion defining an upwardly open top and a grinder receivable in the interior of the container. The grinder has a grinding head having a shape closely conforming to the shape of the container interior bottom, a cap that is screwed onto the upper portion of the container, and a compressible intermediate and body section joining the grinding head and the grinder top. A reservoir containing bacterial maintenance fluid, such as a frangible glass ampul containing such fluid, is carried within the compressible intermediate section. The grinding device has a grinding configuration wherein the grinding head is received in the bottom interior of the container with the cap adjacent the container upper portion. In use, surgical tissue is placed in the container and the device is placed in the grinding configuration. Grinding is effected through application of the cap to the container upper portion to close the container, the cap forcing the grinding head into the bottom of the container interior and rotating it therein, thereby grinding tissue between the grinding head and the interior bottom. Compression of the intermediate portion of the grinder through the application of the cap to the container further places the glass ampul into compression and then breaks it, releasing the bacterial maintenance fluid to keep the tissue moist and reduce any molecular oxygen present.
