  • Publication number: 20220371807
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a container that includes a body having a lower surface, an upper rim, and a plurality of side walls that extend between the lower surface and the upper rim, wherein the upper rim defines an opening to an interior space of the body, a flexible cover that covers the opening of the body and is bonded to the body along the upper rim, and gas-permeable material through which gas can enter and exit the interior space of the body. The upper rim of the body is spaced apart from any of the gas-permeable material, such that the cover can be peeled away from the upper rim to expose the opening while leaving the gas-permeable material intact.

  • Publication number: 20220371781
    Abstract: A transport assembly with an upper part including a plurality of sleeves, each sleeve extending along a sleeve axis between a top opening and a bottom opening, wherein the plurality of sleeves are arranged with their respective axes in parallel to one another, and a lower part including a plate with a plurality of apertures that each extend through the plate. The upper part and the lower part can be coupled such that each bottom opening is arranged adjacent to one of the plurality of apertures, and the upper part and the lower part can be moved relative to one another between a closed configuration in which a perimeter of each bottom opening intersects a perimeter of a corresponding aperture at two or more points, and an open configuration in which the perimeter of each bottom opening is aligned with or is enclosed by the perimeter of a corresponding aperture.

  • Publication number: 20220371765
    Abstract: A transport tray with a plurality of sleeves each configured to receive a substantially cylindrical container having a cylindrical container wall and a container bottom surface arranged orthogonally to the container wall. Each sleeve includes a top opening, a bottom opening, a sleeve wall that extends along a sleeve axis between the top opening and the bottom opening and is configured to abut at least a portion of the container wall of a respective container, and one or more support feet adjacent to the bottom opening and extending from the sleeve wall towards the sleeve axis, wherein each support foot has a bottom surface and a top surface configured to abut the container bottom surface of a respective container forming a gap between the support foot bottom surface and the container bottom surface along the sleeve axis. The one or more support feet comprise a thermally conductive polymer.
