Devices for securely storing bodily fluids and associated systems and methods

A system for collecting and storing bodily fluid from a subject, the system comprising:

• a collection device including an actuator operably coupled to a skin-piercing feature, wherein the bodily fluid collection device is configured to be positioned against the subject, and wherein the actuator is movable to move the skin-piercing feature at least partially into the subject to withdraw the bodily fluid;
• a collection cartridge configured to be removably coupled to the collection device, wherein the collection cartridge includes a housing and a sample tray, and wherein the sample tray includes a plurality of collectors, and further wherein the collection cartridge is configured to receive the withdrawn bodily fluid and to store the withdrawn bodily fluid in at least one of the collectors;
• and
• a case including:
• a base including a jig portion, wherein the jig portion is configured to (a) receive the collection cartridge and (b) decouple the sample tray from the housing;
• and
• a cover pivotally coupled to the base, wherein the cover is movable relative to the base between a first position in which the jig portion is accessible and a second position in which the jig portion is inaccessible.
