ABSTRACT:
A microbial culture transport apparatus comprising an open top receptacle having a first open-top culture device receiving area for receiving a culture sample and at least a second container retaining area, a cover for the receptacle, and a rupturable container in the second area containing a material for use in maintaining viability of a culture sample. Interengaging detents are provided on the receptacle and cover for releasably retaining the cover in a first position with the top wall of the cover spaced above the bottom of the receptacle to maintain the culture sample and rupturable container in their respective areas without rupturing the container, the interengaging detents being releasable on response to downward pressure on the cover to move down to a second position. A punch on the cover is operative when the cover is moved from its first and second position on the receptacle for rupturing the rupturable container to release the culture sustaining material therein and seals are provided on the cover and receptacle for sealing the areas in the receptacle from the outside atmosphere when the cover is in its second position.
