Abstract
A system and method for collecting, transporting and grinding tissue specimens and the like which includes a long hollow container into which the sample of tissue is placed. A pestle or grinder of a shape to conform to the interior of the container is placed into the container in order to grind the sample. Attached to this grinder is a flexible protective sheath which envelops the grinder and container combination during grinding and thereby prevents contamination of the specimen or the surrounding atmosphere.
