ABSTRACT:
A sterile inoculation assembly includes an inoculation device (20), a storage container (84) and a handling tool (60). The inoculation device (20) includes an elongated body (22) having an inoculation end (26) and an opposed gripping end (24). The container (84) is formed with at least one cavity (86) with an opening (88) thereto. The cavity (86) is dimensioned to receive the inoculation device (20) in an orientation which permits the gripping end (24) to be grasped through the opening (88). A sheet-like cover (98) is positioned across the opening (88) to seal it and to retain the inoculation device (20) in the cavity (86). The cover (98) is capable of being punctured for grasping of the gripping end (24) and removal of the inoculation device (20) by a handling tool (60). This handling tool (60) telescopically engages the gripping end (24) for releasible securement thereto. Removal of the inoculation device (20) by the handling mechanism (60) is permitted while preserving the sterile integrity of the inoculation device (20). A method for removing the sterile inoculation device (20) from the sterile storage container (84) while maintaining the inoculation end (26) of the inoculation device (20) in a sterile condition also is provided.
