Abstract
Sample handling apparatus includes a disposable, single use sample vessel that includes reclosable port structure, and coupling structure adjacent said port structure. Cooperating sample transfer structure for detachable connection to the coupling structure of the vessel includes a transfer passage and a port opening probe portion and is movable to a position in which the probe portion opens the reclosable port structure to provide a flow path between the transfer passage and the sample storage vessel. In that position, the vessel and sample transfer structure cooperate to define a sealed chamber that has a flexible, resilient wall.
