ABSTRACT:
A compact, reusable specimen mailer for safely shipping fragile specimen containers via the postal service. Two substantially identical L-shaped matable parts are each provided with a long leg having a flat free end and a flat inside face, and a short leg having a flat inside face, so that the two parts may be joined together with the free end of the long leg flush against the inside face of the short leg and the inside faces of the long legs of the two parts flush against each other. Typically, the long leg of each part forms apertures for receiving test tubes and the inside face of the short leg of each part forms a cavity for receiving the ends of the test tubes, which protrude from the free end of the long leg of the other part. Also typically, the long leg forms an aperture opening out of its free end and its inside face, and connected with another cavity formed in the inside face of the short leg, for receiving a slide holder. A sheet of absorbent material is disposed within a recess in the inside face of the long leg for absorbing leaking fluids. The two parts are joined together and placed in a special envelope for mailing.
