Abstract

A lid for closing a sterile receptacle is provided. The receptacle is formed by a container bottom and container walls and defines a holding space. The lid comprises an angular cover plate which has a plurality of lid corners and closes the holding space in a closure position, such that it can be quickly and securely mounted on the receptacle and transferred to the closure position. A mounting aid is provided for mounting the lid on the receptacle. The mounting aid includes a plurality of mounting aid elements that each overlap at least one container wall at least partly in the closure position.
