Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a package comprising a rack and a surrounding cover therefor. The rack has a top surface which slopes downwardly from front to rear. This top surface has a plurality of recesses or wells into which small receptacles may be inserted and thereby supported in the rack. The said receptacles are sufficiently large so that they visibly protrude from the rack. As a result of this protrusion of the receptacles the cover has a hood-like configuration to make allowance therefor. The rack also has a rearwardly positioned slot means to receive and support a diagnostic plate and a forwardly positioned trough to hold a tube member.
