ABSTRACT:
A container for packaging vials containing diagnostic specimens, or the like, which are to be mailed or transported. The container includes an open-topped plastic cylinder with an integral bottom wall having an upper section of the sidewall which is of a reduced diameter and includes opposed outwardly projecting lugs for engaging complementary slots in a cylindrical cap for the container. The upper section of the sidewall further includes a radial groove which accommodates an elastic O-ring for providing a leak proof seal for the container. The cap slides over the upper section of the sidewall and sealingly engages the O-ring to provide a leak-proof seal. The container is further provided with an open celled plastic foam insert which die-cut to accommodate up to three vials. The advantage of the container is that an easily manufactured, inexpensive readily packed transport container is provided which is capable of passing the drop, puncture and leakage test set forth by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
