Claim:
A seal vial assembly comprising: a vial being formed of a resilient and rigid plastic material and defining a center aperture adapted to contain a liquid and having: (a) a base, (b) a crown disposed opposite the base, and (c) an upright side wall extending from the base to the crown and having a tapered inner diameter and a flange located proximate the crown, the tapered inner diameter having a maximum inner diameter proximate the flange and decreasing gradually toward the base; a seal top being formed of a resilient and rigid plastic material and defining a center opening that runs through the length of the seal top and having: (a) a top portion providing a neck finish, (b) a snap groove releasably receiving the flange of the vial when the seal top and the vial are fully assembled, and (c) a tapered portion below the snap groove with an outside diameter greater than the maximum inner diameter of the tapered inner diameter of the vial so that the tapered portion frictionally engages and creates an interference fit with the tapered inner diameter of the vial when the seal top and the vial are assembled; and a cap releasably engaging the neck finish of the seal top to close the seal top.
