Claim:
Apparatus comprising: a cap having an inner surface defining a hollow; a body including a vial having a rim and an opening bounded by the rim; a connector coupling the cap to the body in a manner which permits movement of the cap between a fully-seated position on the vial, to form a sealed specimen container; and a position apart from the opening, to permit ingress to the vial wherein the connector is adapted such that, in use, when the cap is disposed at the position apart from the opening, and in the absence of external forces, the connector holds the cap at the position apart from the opening wherein the cap and the vial have inter-engageable detents which provide for at least one snap-fit intermediate position of the cap between the position apart from the opening and the fully-seated position the inter-engageable detents comprise: at least one detent positioned on the vial; and at least one detent positioned on the inner surface of the cap and protruding into the hollow; and the at least one detent positioned on the vial is disposed beneath the rim.
