Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses are disclosed for a tamper-resistant collection and retention a chemical sample. In one embodiment, the tamper-resistant system comprises a container operable to collect and retain a chemical sample, a tamper-resistant mechanism operable to disengage at a first chemical sample to allow for a collection of a chemical sample, wherein the tamper-resistant mechanism is operable to record one or more of: a date, a time, and a location, of the chemical sample during the collection of the chemical sample, and wherein the tamper-resistant mechanism is further operable to re-engage and lock after the collection of the chemical sample to resist subsequent chemical samples after the first chemical sampling.

38. A method of chemical sampling using a tamper-resistant chemical sampling system, the method comprising:
-
removing a tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus from a packaging; turning a twist mechanism on the tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus to an open position effective to allow a chemical sample to be collected into the tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus through a calibrated orifice; leaving the twist mechanism in the open position for a period of time effective to collect the chemical sample through the calibrated orifice and into the tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus; turning the twist mechanism on the tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus to a closed position after collecting the chemical sample effective to retain the chemical sample within the tamper-resistant chemical sampling apparatus; and locking the twist mechanism into a locked position effective to resist turning of the twist mechanism. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52)
