• a first insert member located in a first recess in the first portion;
• a second insert member located in a second recess in the second portion;
• wherein the first and second insert members are configured to match a particular size vial;
• a coupler having a first end connected to channel of the body and a second end for selectively coupling the apparatus to a flat surface;
• and
