Abstract
A container system that includes a container element with a hole or series of holes that are sealed by at least one seal assembly with at least one seal element. When the container system is placed into material to be captured, the seal element of the seal assembly is displaced from the holes when material exerts inward pressure on the seals, allowing the container system to self-fill with material. Once the desired amount of material is captured, the container system is removed and captured material exerts outward pressure on the seal assembly, causing the seal element to close the holes and the container system to self-seal.
