Abstract:
A container for storing and transporting a specimen under thermally stable conditions includes an outer insulating container body having a top and sidewall to form a receptacle shape and an inner insulating container body having a bottom and sidewall to form a receptacle shape to fit in interlocking nested engagement with the outer insulating container body to form a double walled hermetic chamber. A specimen receiving structure is supported within the hermetic chamber for receiving a biological specimen such as a corneal tissue. Another comprises an outer insulating container body and an inner insulating container body shaped to fit in interlocking nested engagement with the outer insulating container body to form a hermetic chamber. At least one of the insulating bodies comprises a hard shell filled with an insulating material.
