Abstract
A container for pooling plasma and the like has an integral cap. The cap includes an air vent with an inline bacterial filter. The cap also includes a fluid passage to which a length of tubing can be integrally connected to transfer fluid into the container. The transfer tubing can be sealed and severed close to the cap. The cap includes a pocket which receives the remaining sealed end portion of the tubing to protect the sealed end portion from inadvertent contact and damage during subsequent handling. The cap also includes a cover which closes the pocket to further enhance the protection of the sealed tubing end. The cover includes a plug which, when the pocket is closed, hermetically seals the vent and, thus, the entire container.
