Zusammenfassung:A sealable container for preservation of a biological sample is provided. The sealable container includes a cap and an elongate body. The cap has a proximal open end and a distal end with a lumen extending from the proximal open end to the distal end. The elongate body extends from a handle portion to a specimen portion, where the specimen portion is configured to receive a biological sample thereon. The elongate body further includes a closure portion disposed between the handle portion and the specimen portion, where the closure portion is configured to make surface to surface contact with the cap when the specimen portion of the elongate body is fully inserted within the lumen of the cap. At least one of an inner surface of the cap and an outer surface of the elongate body includes a textured area with a textured surface finish.
