Summary: | Disclosed is a fluid sample holder 20 for delivering or receiving a fluid sample to or from fluid processing equipment such as a chromatography column 5 (FIG. 1). The sample holder 20 comprises: a sample fluid reservoir 15; a sample fluid port 23; a buffer fluid port 21; and a sliding seal 25 within the reservoir 15 having an external area 258 (FIG. 3) which generally sealing engages with a wall of the reservoir 15 thereby defining first 22 and second 24 fluid separated regions in the reservoir 15. The sliding seal 25 is displaceable within the reservoir 15 by means of a working fluid pressure differential between the first 22 and second 24 regions to thereby change the respective volumes of the first and second regions, and the external area at least is formed from a plastics molded material which elastically flexes when subjected to a pressure differential greater than the working fluid pressure differential and when so flexed allows fluid flow between the first and second regions. |
