The blotter is thereby held in face-to-face contact with the permeable surface of the cartridge within the packaging system when the lid is in sealed condition and remains captively attached to the lid upon opening of the packaging system. In a preferred embodiment, the container is further provided with a blotter recess to facilitate preliminary alignment of the blotter with the permeable membrane of a cartridge held therewithi…
