B01L 3/00

US Classification:

422102, 215 10, 426180

Abstract:

A plurality of container assemblies are provided. Each container assembly has substantially identical external dimensions. However, the internal volumes of certain container assemblies differ from the internal volumes of other container assemblies. The container assemblies are configured in accordance with the required volume of material to be collected or maintained in the respective container assemblies and to enable uniform head spaces despite the different volumes of materials in the respective container assemblies. Each container assembly may have an inner container and an outer container. The inner and outer containers may be assembled together or formed integrally by molding.

B01L 3/00

US Classification:

422102, 220 2383, 220 2387, 220 2389

Abstract:

A tube assembly includes an inner tube telescoped into an outer tube. The inner tube is dimensioned to define a substantially annular space between the inner and outer tubes. Portions of the inner tube near its open top are configured to permit venting as the inner tube is inserted into the open top. However, the vent is closed during insertion of a closure into the tube assembly or prior to inserting a closure into the tube assembly.

International Classification:

B65D081/00

US Classification:

600576000

Abstract:

The blood collection set includes an IV needle assembly, a length of flexible plastic tubing extending from the IV needle assembly and a non-patient needle assembly. The set is formed with a venting mechanism that permits an outflow of air, while blocking an outflow of blood or other fluids. Thus, the venting mechanism enables air that had existed in interior portions of the blood collection set to be vented allowing for greater flash visualization on venous entry, and avoids the need to employ a discard tube.
