Abstract

A container for storing a biological sample is disclosed. The container includes a housing having a closed end, an open end, and a sidewall extending therebetween defining a container interior. The container has a removable closure for enclosing the open end of the housing and a sample holder for housing a biological sample detachably connected to the closure and insertable within the container interior. A port is disposed within the closure adjacent the sample holder to allow fluid to pass therethrough into the container interior. An injection device for engaging the port may also be provided. A first fluid may be initially provided within the container interior and a second fluid may be subsequently injected by the injection device through the port into the container interior.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 982,049, filed Oct. 23, 2007, entitled “Closed Kit for Tissue Containment and Stabilization for Molecular and Histopathology Diagnostics”, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a closed kit system for storing a biological sample. More particularly, the present invention relates to a closed kit system for storing a biological tissue specimen in a reagent or, if so desired, in multiple reagents for molecular or diagnostic testing and / or histological testing.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Biological samples are often obtained by a researcher or clinician for diagnostic evaluation to determine the presence of certain diseases and to determine an appropriate treatment for the disease. Tissue samples are often obtained from a patient ...
