Abstract

A container is constructed substantially from card or card like material for storing biologically contaminated items, such as those used in a laboratory. The card defines an opening for allowing contaminated items to be placed into the container and the opening includes foldable edges for closing the container. The container includes a temporary seal that may be reopened to allow additional items to be placed therein. The container also includes a permanent seal for sealing the container prior to decontamination. In an embodiment, the temporary seal is a metal plate (401) located over one of the foldable edges such that the plate is folded with the foldable edge to thereby retain the foldable edge in its folded configuration. Selected side portions may be provided with additional folds (721, 722, 723, 724, 725) to provide a substantially folded configuration prior to the container being placed in its open configuration. An embodiment is shown that is suitable for storing long items such as pipettes. A tall container (1702) is shown in combination with a stand (1701) so as to support the container in an upright orientation. A reinforcement member (1802) may also be included that is constructed from coated card to define a handle opening with the handle including reinforcement board.
