Articulated container clamshell aliquot automated processes and dispersion.

摘要

The package assembly (100) for containing and selectively dispensing an aliquot of particles, the package assembly comprising: first and second parts (110, 130) which cooperate to contain the aliquot, wherein a pair of flexure channels (145 ) are defined on opposite sides (131, 133) of the first part (130), wherein the flexure channels (145) cooperating to define a flexure axis (142) extending through the pair of flexure channels (145 ), with the package assembly (100) is configured such that when a force approximately perpendicular to the bending axis (142) on the package assembly (100) is applied, the first part (130) flexes the outside around the flexure axis (142), so that the first and second (110, 130) parts separate in response to force, characterized in that when force is applied to at least two opposite sides (112, 114) of the second part (110), the flexure axis (142) is flex iona outwardly from the second portion (110), and further comprising at least one concave portion (135) located on a flange portion (132) defined by the first part (130), wherein the concave portion (135) defines an opening configured to receive an opening tool to the first part (110) flexes outwardly from the second part (130) about the flexure axis (142) to separate first and second parts (110, 130 ).
