ABSTRACT CLOSED CONTAINER OPENER A closed container opener, particularly a microcentrifuge tube opener (10) is adapted to open a closed container, particularly a microcentrifuge tube (16) comprising a container (30) with an opening (32), and a lid (36) for the container, the lid having a lip projection (38) extending past the outer perimeter of the opening and a downwardly extending annular portion (34) shaped to sealing fit insude the opening. The opener comprises a base (14), having a recess (20) shaped to accept the lip projection, comprising a lower projection (22) below and adjacent the recess; and an upper projection (24) above and adjacent the recess. Both the lower projection and the upper projection are positioned to touch the lip and the lid, respectively. The lid can be moved from the container by positioning the lip in the recess and causing the lower projection to apply pressure to the lip away from the container and, at the same time, causing the upper projection to apply pressure to the tube at a position distant from the lip, in a direction towards the container.
