Abstract The invention relates to a container system (1) for blood, body fluids, tissue parts or tissue cultures, comprising a closure device (9), having a cap (20) and a sealing de vice (21) retained in it and a substantially cylindrical housing container (5) with two ends (6, 7) spaced apart from one another in the direction of a longitudinal axis (14) and bounding an interior (10). A thread arrangement (40) with co-operating threads (42, 43) is disposed between the cap (20) and the housing container (5).The sealing device (21) is provided with a coating prior to being inserted, at least in the region of a sealing surface (33) which is directed towards an internal surface (18) of the hous ing container (5). The housing container (5) is provided with the coating at least in the region of the internal surface (18) which is directed towards the sealing surface (33) of the sealing device (21). The coating is formulated to reduce friction and con tains at least one lubricant or a lubricant additive. (Fig. 1)
