Abstract:
A pierceable cap may be used for containing sample specimens during storage and transport. The pierceable cap may prevent unwanted escape of sample specimen before transfer with a transfer device . The pierceable cap may fit over a vessel . An access port in the pierceable cap may allow passage of a tip of a transfer device through the pierceable cap . Single or multiple frangible layers may be disposed across the access port. Single frangible layers are configured to prevent venting upon initially being pierced by a transfer device but to allow venting as the transfer device is advanced through the frangible layer
