Abstract: A vial suspender comprising a planar base plate and a suspending portion including a suspending strip and a suspending ring and joined to the center of the base plate by a hinge portion. The suspending portion is foldable at another hinge portion and is accommodated in a folded position in recesses formed in the base plate. The base plate is fastened to the bottom of a vial with a heat-shrunken resin film. When pulled out from the base plate to an unfolded position, the suspending portion has a sufficient length to support the vial in a substantially vertical, inverted position.
