A syringe holder for holding a syringe in a centrifuge, the syringe having a plunger-end and a nipple-end, the syringe holder holding the syringe nipple-end upwardly, comprising: a cup having a cup seat, a wall, a bore, a mouth, and a support, the support supporting the cup in the centrifuge; a lower support having a upper surface and a lower surface, the lower support sized to slide into the cup and the lower support supporting the plunger-end of the syringe; an upper support having lower section and an upper section with a lip, and having a channel therethrough, the lip having a outer diameter larger than the inner diameter of the mouth of the cup, the channel therethrough co-axial with the lower support and the bore of the cup, the lower section having an outer diameter that is less than the inner diameter of the bore of the of the cup and sized to permit the upper support to slide at least partially into the cup and the lip to contact the mouth of the cup and support the upper support in the cup; whereby the upper support and the lower support support the syringe with the needle-end upwardly in the cup during centrifuging.

A bodily-fluid transfer device includes a housing, a pre-sample reservoir, and an actuator. The housing defines an inner volume between a substantially open proximal end portion and a distal end portion that includes a port couplable to a lumen-defining device. The pre-sample reservoir is fluidically couplable to the port to receive a first volume of bodily fluid. The actuator is at least partially disposed in the inner volume and has a proximal end portion that includes an engagement portion and a distal end portion that includes a sealing member. The engagement portion is configured to allow a user to selectively move the actuator between a first configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to a sample reservoir defined at least in part by the sealing member and the housing.

A syringe-based device includes a housing, a pre-sample reservoir, and an actuator. The housing defines an inner volume between a substantially open proximal end portion and a distal end portion that includes a port couplable to a lumen-defining device. The pre-sample reservoir is fluidically couplable to the port to receive and isolate a first volume of bodily fluid. The actuator is at least partially disposed in the inner volume and has a proximal end portion that includes an engagement portion and a distal end portion that includes a sealing member. The engagement portion is configured to allow a user to selectively move the actuator between a first configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to a sample reservoir defined at least in part by the sealing member and the housing.

An organism paracentesis device comprises a first tube member and a second tube member. The first tube member comprises an injection tube filled with a medicament, a piston and a first syringe needle. The second tube member comprises a sampling tube and a second syringe needle. Both ends of the second syringe needle are in the form of syringe needle. Using one end of the second syringe needle to penetrate a cover of the sampling tube which is vacuumed, such that the second syringe needle's the other end which is penetrating into an organism will extract a sample from the organism because of the vacuumed sampling tube. The medicament filled in the injection tube is ejected both when the first and second syringe needles are penetrating into and pulled out of the organism, so as to avoid the cells of sampled organism being spread to other places.
