Abstract
A versatile vial and plug combination forming a securely sealed closure of the vial. The combination includes a vial with (a) a head with an inner diameter (ID) and an outer diameter (OD); (b) a body with an ID and an OD substantially equal to those of the head; and (c) a neck having an ID less than the ID, and an OD less than the OD, of the head and body, providing a recessed robotic arm pick up area adapted for engagement by automatic equipment. The combination also includes a resilient plug with (a) an inwardly tapered base, (b) a top flange, and (c) a body having an OD that corresponds to or is only slightly greater than the ID of the vial, assuring an interference fit between the plug and the vial, thereby sealing the plug inside the vial upon insertion of the plug in the vial.
