    Abstract: A multi-site skin-test system including a reservoir tray and strips of interconnected reservoir caps inserted into upper portions of the reservoirs. The caps each include a generally conically shaped hole. Connection members connect the caps of a strip to one another. The strips of caps are pressed into tightly fitting upper portions of reservoirs having upwardly facing ledge surfaces for supporting downwardly facing bottom surfaces of the caps. The outer side surfaces of the caps and the inner surfaces of the upper portions of the reservoirs are substantially the same size to provide a tight fit. A tray lid includes a downwardly extending ridge that cooperates with the tray to prevent the lid from being placed onto the tray backwards. The ridge also holds test-device shafts in position as partial reservoir-cap-hole closures.
