Abstract: A sealable sampling container includes a vessel having a bottom and walls upwardly extending therefrom and terminating in a sealing surface, the bottom and the walls defining a volume within the open top container. A gasket is configured to engage with the sealing surface of the vessel and a lid is configured to engage with the gasket at the sealing surface and lock to the vessel. A sampling port is affixed to one side of the vessel or the lid, the sampling port providing fluid communication between the volume within the open top container and an external environment. The sealable sampling container safely stores volatile chemical vapors and enables training on use of chemical detection equipment without resort to ventilation hoods or the use of respiratory protection equipment.
