Abstract

The present invention relates to a cap which can form an essentially leak- proof seal with an open-ended vessel capable of receiving and holding fluid specimens or other materials for analysis. To minimize potentially contaminating contact between a fluid sample present in the vessel and human s or the environment, the present invention features a cap having a frangible seal which is penetrable by a plastic pipette tip or other fluid transfer device. The cap further includes filtering means for limiting dissemination of an aerosol or bubbles once the frangible seal has been pierced. The filterin g means is positioned between the frangible seal and retaining means. The retaining means is positioned on the cap above the filtering means and may b e used to contain the filtering means within the cap. The retaining means may be comprised of a material which is penetrable by a fluid transfer device.</SDO AB>
