Abstract
A sampler pouch having a lower barrier layer; an upper barrier layer peelably sealed to the lower barrier layer to form a cavity; and a fluidic sample material absorbed within an internal supportive structure within the cavity. The internal supportive structure is inert and substantially retains the sample material when subjected to compressive forces, thereby reducing internal pressure against the peel seal and allowing for the use of low strength peel seals.
