Disclosed herein are cellular cassettes for the storage, collection, and analysis of biological samples. The cellular cassette can enable easy sample collection and sealing of microwell arrays with semi-permeable membrane for stable storage and future processing of single cells. Also disclosed herein are systems and kits comprising one or more described cassettes. The described cassettes, systems, and kits can be used to create barcoded, single-cell sequencing libraries. Further described herein are methods of using the cassettes, systems, and kits.

A transport container includes: a bottom member where the transported object is placed; left and right side members disposed beside the bottom member; a handle disposed above the bottom member; left and right lower connecting members interconnecting the bottom member and side members; and left and right upper connecting members interconnecting the side and the handle members, which are respectively interconnected via hinges. When the handle is not lifted, the side members are separated from the bottom member. When the handle is lifted, the side members laterally support the transported object. As for the transport method, with the transported object stacked in the up-down direction, the transport container is installed at an unloading location such that the lower and upper connecting members are laid to be non-parallel to the side member, and the transported object is taken out from the front or rear between the left and right side members.

A sampling kit includes firstly a sample tube, which includes a container part for holding a sample and a cap for sealing the container, and secondly a plastic foil instruction sheet. The sheet provides information related to a sample taking process using of the sample tube, which information is printed thereon or is provided in the form of one or more documents held in one or more pockets thereof. The sheet is provided with a support body for holding the sample tube, or at least a container part of the sample tube, during the sampling taking process, the support body and the bottom end of the sample tube being shaped such that they cooperate, to support the sample tube in an upright position.

A packaging system for medical containers having a main opening, comprising: a vessel having a shoulder; a tray provided with cavities that is intended for receiving a medical container and rests on the shoulder; a plurality of caps that close the main opening; and a lid that seals the vessel. A method for packaging medical containers, comprises the following steps: providing a vessel; arranging a tray on the shoulder of the vessel; arranging medical containers in the cavities; arranging a cap on the medical containers so as to close the main opening thereof; sealing a lid on an upper edge of the peripheral wall of the vessel; and placing the vessel in at least one sealed bag.

The present invention relates to an internal fixing device for an apparatus in a transport mode, an apparatus comprising said device, and a method for reducing the risk of damage to the apparatus during transport. The internal fixing device comprises a limiting device, eccentric roller transmission assemblies, a motor assembly, a motion guide assembly, etc. The two ends of a motor output shaft are fixedly disposed on eccentric roller transmission assemblies on two sides of the apparatus. By triggering a microswitch on the limiting device, eccentric rollers and rocking handles form self locking in a transport mode to stop motion. The present invention can effectively reduce the risk of damage to the apparatus during transport.

A unique novel reagent container device with a unique grid structure that allows for the sealing of liquids including volatile liquids. The reagent container device of the present disclosure comprises a container that can be sealed and a support system that forms a grid for sealing the top of the container. Such support system does not restrict liquid flow nor forms an additional section or well within the container device.

A device for collecting contaminants from water samples is provided. The device includes a solid sorbent that collects and stores the contaminants from water samples. The solid sorbent is configured to allow for the preservation of the stored contaminants. The concentrations of the contaminants in the water samples are determined via analysis of the solid sorbent or via elution of the stored contaminants from the sorbent and analysis of the eluate solution.

The invention relates to a container system for transport of biological material comprising a container casing and an insulating device, wherein the container casing defines a container interior space for accommodation of the insulating device and for accommodation of biological material to be transported, and wherein the insulating device is constituted of at least two insulating portions, which are formed so as to surround the biological material inside the container interior space. The invention further relates to uses of such a container system for packaging and transport of biological material, as well as methods of packaging biological material for transport.

Thus, the present disclosure provides a kit for collection of biofluids and preservation of any DNA and/or RNA contained in said biofluid. The kit includes a wipe composed of fibers for absorbing a preselected biofluid, the wipe being impregnated with one or more skin-friendly chemicals for preservation of the biofluid absorbed into the wipe. The kit includes a rigid re-sealable tube configured to contain the impregnated wipe therein, a re-sealable bag for sealing the rigid re-sealable tube containing the impregnated wipe for transportation. The kit includes instructions on how to impregnate the wipe with the pre-selected biofluid and seal it in the re-sealable bag, and a return envelope configured to receive therein the re-sealable bag containing the impregnated wipe.

Bodily fluid sample collection systems, devices, and method are provided. The sample is collected at a first location and subjected to a first sample processing step. The sample may be shipped to a second location and subjected to a second sample processing step that does not introduce contaminants into a plasma portion of the sample formed from the first processing step. The sample may also be mixed with other material(s) in the collection device.
