Abstract: An assembly for collecting and transporting fluid biological samples such as blood including an impact resistant outer container having a soft foam cushioning pad disposed across the bottom and top thereof, a protective wrap of plastic bubble packaging material surrounding a pair of blood sampling tubes and a multi-sample syringe assembly disposed between the cushioning pads, a sealable evidence bag, tamper evidencing tapes, an instruction manual, a non-alcoholic swab, and an liquid absorbent packet contained therein. The outer container and its contents are initially enclosed and sealed in a tamper evidencing wrapper. The assembly may be subjected to extraordinarily rough handling with the contents of the blood sampling tubes remaining intact.

Abstract: An apparatus for collecting and transporting dual biological samples such as blood and urine comprising an impact resistant outer container having a soft foam cushioning pad disposed across the bottom, and a thicker protective collar of dense foam placed on top of the cushioning pad. The protective collar defines bores extending therethrough and sized to receive a tamper resistant sealed specimen vial and lid assembly, a pair of blood sampling tubes, and a multi-sample sterile syringe assembly. An instruction manual, tamper evidencing sealing tapes, and a non-alcoholic swab are enclosed in the outer container, along with an upper cushioning pad similar to that at the bottom of the container. The outer container is then closed with a lid and sealed in a temper evidencing wrapper.

Abstract: An apparatus for collecting and preserving fluid biological evidence comprising a specimen vial and lid, the lid having an adhesive coated disk inserted therein with the lid initially being inverted on the rim of the specimen vial and encased in a tamper evident plastic wrapper. The specimen vial and lid, encased in the tamper evident wrapper, are sealed along with a pair of adhesive backed sealing tapes, an instruction manual, and a compressible foam cushioning pad, within an outer container with a second tamper evident plastic wrapper.
