Embodiment Construction
[0035] The described exemplary embodiments relate to a container assembly having a specifically shaped and designed container and coupling members. However, the invention is not limited to the described shapes and designs, but any other suitable shape / design of containers, couplings and valves may also be used.
[0036] Certain terminology may be used in the following description, for convenience only and not limitation. The words "right", "left", "lower", "upper", "front", "rear", "upward", "downward" and "downward", "top" and "bottom" indicate Orientation in the drawings and refers to the orientation of the described parts when assembled and installed. The words "inwardly", "inwardly" and "outwardly", "outwardly" refer to directions towards and away from, respectively, the designated centerline or geometric center (such as the central axis) of the described element, and the specific meaning is from the context of the description It's easy to see.
[0037] Furthermore, rel...

There is provided a container assembly for processing a biological sample, comprising a first container (1) and a second container (2), each container being configured to receive and contain a fluid; a coupling member (6) adapted to operably couple the first container and the second container so as to provide a sealed fluid passage between the first container and the second container; at least one self-sealing dispensing valve (4) operably mounted within the fluid passage of the coupling member, adapted to allow a bi-directional fluid flow at a predetermined fluid pressure, and at least one blocking member (9) adapted to block the fluid flow at the predetermined fluid pressure from the at least one self-sealing dispensing valve (4). The at least one blocking member is operably mounted within the fluid passage of the coupling member at the output of the first container and is configured to prevent solids of a predetermined size from entering the second container from the first container.

Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a container assembly for biological samples which allows collection, storage and transport of biological samples, such as tissue samples. Background technique [0002] Protocols for histopathological analysis require that tissue samples obtained from patients must be rapidly processed using a fixative or other suitable liquid as a preservative prior to sending the sample to the laboratory for processing. [0003] Formaldehyde is the most commonly used fixative, and its toxic effects on humans or other living organisms are well known. [0004] Currently, a clinician is exposed to formaldehyde when he or she introduces a sample (biopsy) into a container assembly that contains the formaldehyde. [0005] Today, after the medical staff collects the sample, they open the container assembly containing the formaldehyde, put the sample inside, close the container assembly and send it to the pathology laboratory. [0006] There is a considerable ...
