Patent Summary
A container assembly for storing tissue samples that reduces the risk of spillage and evaporation, and eliminates the risk of the sample sticking to the cover. The assembly includes a container with a bottom and a cover that engages with the container. The cover has a receptacle for a preserving agent, a seal, and a puncturing member that breaks the seal to release the agent into the container. The assembly maintains a consistent internal pressure when the cover is engaged, preventing spillage when opened.
