A top for a plasma storage container includes a top body that defines the structure of the top and seals an opening of the plasma storage container. The top also includes a first opening and a vent opening extending through the top body. A septum is located at least partially within the first opening and includes an aperture therethrough. The septum allows a blunt cannula to pass through the aperture to access the interior of the plasma storage container. The top also includes a hydrophobic membrane located on underside of the top body. The membrane covers the vent opening and allows air to vent through the vent opening during plasma collection.
