Abstract

A transportable, sealable container, which has an improved pod liner. The container includes a box, a box door, and a gasket which forms a seal between the box and the box door. The box door has a conductive liner and a conductive path from the conductive liner to ground potential for electrostatic discharge protection. A membrane for isolating the gasket from the interior region of the container is bonded to the gasket and the conductive liner. The membrane may be impervious to gasses to prevent outgassing of the gasket or impervious to particles but not gasses to prevent particulate matter generated by the gasket from entering the interior region of the container.
