Abstract
The provision of a container system that has a compartmented core surrounded by a carrier body frame to which top and bottom covers are removably attached. A band of resilient sealing material (e.g., a closed cell inert polymer or a rubber) on the top and bottom covers each completely surrounds the compartment core, and three ribs on the top and bottom of each of the covers likewise frame the compartment core, so that the ribs engage the resilient sealing material and form a barrier that completely surrounds the compartment core.
