ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for obtaining a blood sample in a test tube from a sealed container. The apparatus includes a main body having a cup-like portion with side walls and a bottom portion cooperating to define a central cavity for receiving the sealed container. The main body also includes provisions which enable mounting to the test tube so that the cup-like portion extends into the test tube. A piercing element is positioned within the cavity and has a tip capable of penetrating the sealed container when the container is inserted into the cavity so that an opening is formed in the container through which the blood sample can be obtained in the test tube.
