  • Patent number: 10875697
    Abstract: A material storage and transport system is disclosed. The material storage and transport system can include a material storage tray forming an open-top storage volume defined by a bottom and walls extending up from the bottom along a perimeter of the bottom. The material storage and transport system can also include a releasable strap adapted to extend across the bottom when in a securing configuration and a sample carrier, including at least one sample secured to a sample support substrate by a molded sheet. A lid element and the sample carrier can be adapted (i) to fit within the storage volume when arranged parallel to the bottom, and (ii) to be secured to the material storage tray by the releasable strap.
