An allergy testing kit contains a plurality of allergy testing applicators, an allergy testing tray and a plurality of allergen bottles each containing an allergen. Each of the applicators contains an elongated handle, a plurality of arms extending from the elongated handle and disposed in an asymmetrical configuration, and a plurality of legs with tines extending from each of the arms. The allergy testing tray contains a main body having an underside and a top surface, a cover for locking with the main body and a plurality of reservoirs extending from the underside of the main body. The reservoirs each have a chamber with an opening extending from the top surface. The reservoirs are disposed in different groups and each group has an asymmetrical configuration matching that of the applicator.

A collection bottle and a method for detecting a characteristic of a sample are provided. The collection bottle includes a body and a cover. The body of the collection bottle has an accommodating space. The cover of the collection bottle is removably assembled to the body of the collection bottle, and the cover includes a channel and a testing part. The channel of the collection bottle communicates the accommodating space and the outside environment. While the cover of the collection bottle is assembled to the body, the testing part extends toward the accommodating space.

Bodily fluid indicator devices and methods are provided. Such devices and methods can effectively indicate whether the amount of bodily fluid being produced is within a measurable range. In an exemplary embodiment, a bodily fluid indicator device includes a substrate having a surface. Some portions of the surface are covered with a region of absorbent material and other portions of the surface are devoid of the absorbent material. A graduated scale or a reactive feature is printed on the absorbent material. The device is configured to indicate an amount and/or a composition a bodily fluid present on an area of a patient or subject.

A pouch comprises a flexible bag having an opening at one end, and a safety valve arranged inside the bag to substantially prevent the content of the bag leaving through the opening. The valve comprises a first pair of sheets and a second pair of sheets that are bonded together locally at a plurality of spaced-apart primary bonding points, and a third pair of sheets, the first, second, and third pairs of sheets being bonded together locally at a plurality of spaced-apart secondary bonding points. The distance between the primary bonding points and the distal end of the sheets of the second pair of sheets varies along a transverse axis (Dt) of the bag. A further transfer valve permits a portion of the urine to be transferred to a separate detachable pouch, which may then be transported, for example for diagnostic purposes.

A device for testing the quality of a biological sample, preferably semen, in cooperation with an electronic apparatus, the device comprising; a slide slot adapted for receiving a slide containing a biological sample; a receiving surface adapted for receiving an electronic apparatus containing a camera, where the receiving surface comprises a through hole extending through said receiving surface; a light source arranged opposite the through hole; a lens arranged between the slide slot and the receiving surface, and adapted to magnify the image received at the receiving surface; where the slide slot is arranged between the light source and the through hole, the device further comprising a housing attached opposite the receiving surface, the housing having a shape allowing for a plurality of stable resting conditions in which the electronic apparatus lies on the receiving surface, and alignment between the camera and the through hole is maintained by friction.

A self-sampling device (1) for vaginal fluid from a vagina of a user, said self-sampling device (1) comprising an elongate first body (2) for insertion into the vagina of the user, and a sample collection body (3) for collecting a vaginal fluid sample from the user. The sample collection body (3) is attachable to an inner end portion (4) of the elongate first body (2) by a releasable connection means (5) comprising a shaft, a hole or recess for receiving the shaft, and a snap-locking means. The self-sampling device is used to take a vaginal fluid sample intended for subsequent laboratory analysis, for example, but not limited to, DNA analysis for HPV.

A disposable, wearable article can be used for collecting a sample and performing urinalysis. The article incorporates a test port feature to simplify this function. The test port has a resealable cover that can be used to selectively expose an aperture through the backsheet of the disposable article. The test port is used to position test devices, such as urine test strips to urine collected in the disposable article.

Disclosed are methods for detecting remnant cancer cells in a tissue sample.

Apparatus and methods are described for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl. While the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl, light is received from the toilet bowl using one or more light sensors. Using a computer processor, one or more spectral components within the received light that are indicative of light absorption by a component of erythrocytes are detected, by analyzing the received light. In response thereto, the computer processor determines that there is a presence of blood within the bodily emission. The computer processor generates an output on an output device, at least partially in response thereto. Other applications are also described.
