A system and method for automatic closure of sample vessels such as vessels with medical laboratory samples, having a plurality of identically shaped, stackable closure caps with a convex outer face and concave inner face that are stacked in a closure cap stack such that an upper closure cap in the stack bears with its convex outer face on the concave inner face of a lower closure cap lying immediately below in the stack. The system includes a closure gripper for gripping an uppermost closure cap from the stack, for transferring the gripped closure cap to the sample vessel to be closed, and for introducing the gripped closure cap into an opening of the sample vessel in order to tightly close the opening. The closure gripper has a centering piece insertable into a closure cap such that it bears on the concave inner face of the closure cap.

The present invention relates to a container tamper detection capsule (1) comprising an upper cover member (2), a lower cover member (4) and an axial displacement member (3), wherein the latter comprises an alignment member (5) and an insertion member (6). Said axial displacement member (3) is axially displaceable from a first closed position, to a second open, fixed and irreversible position. The invention also relates to a container lid (8) comprising the capsule (1) and a stopper member (7). Lastly, the invention also relates to production processes for the capsule (1) and lid (8), which are intended to close containers of food or non-food products.

A packaging system for sealing a medicine container having a filling opening with a stopper includes a container tray having a container cell for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. A shuttle has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface is configured for releasably securing the stopper. The shuttle is configured to release the stopper into the fill opening upon application of a releasing force to the exterior surface of the shuttle. A shuttle tray has a shuttle cell. The shuttle cell forms a body with a proximal opening, an interior space, a bottom inner surface opposite the proximal opening, and a side inner surface. The shuttle cell releasably secures the shuttle.

A packaging system for sealing a medicine container having a filling opening with a stopper includes a container tray having a container cell for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container, a stopper tray with a stopper carrier, and a cover securable to the stopper tray to secure the stoppers to the stopper tray. The stopper carrier forms a body with a proximal opening, an interior space, a distal inner surface, and at least one stopper-locating surface.

A kit consisting of a septum and bodkin is provided for resealing liquid such as wine within a bottle having a neck and body. The septum, a resiliently deformable diaphragm, has an undeformed dimension substantially equal to an inner diameter of the body and is deformable to a dimension less than an inner diameter of the neck. The bodkin, an elongated rod, has a ramming end to deform and push the septum through the neck, and opposite the ramming end has a retrieving end to grasp and extrude the septum from the neck. Using the bodkin, the septum is placed against the surface of liquid and inner wall of the bottle to form an air-tight seal that can be broken using the bodkin or by rotating the bottle to a breakage angle. The septum can be extruded from the bottle using the retrieving end of the bodkin.
