1. A housing attachment defining an upper chamber configured to receive a biopsy cap and a lower chamber configured to receive a biopsy port of an endoscope, the housing attachment comprising:
a first housing portion comprising:
a first portion partially defining the upper chamber and having a proximal end and a distal end;
a second portion partially defining the lower chamber and having a proximal end adjacent the distal end of the first portion, and a distal end; and
one or more locking members extending from an inner surface of the first portion at or near the proximal end thereof and configured to engage around a neck of the biopsy port; and
a second housing portion comprising:
a first portion partially defining the upper chamber and having a proximal end and a distal end;
a second portion partially defining the lower chamber and having a proximal end adjacent the distal end of the first portion, and a distal end; and
one or more locking members extending from an inner surface of the second portion at or near the proximal end thereof and configured to engage around the neck of the biopsy port;
wherein mating surfaces of the first and second housing portions are configured to interlock.
