A fluid specimen collection receptacle includes a cup containing a chamber and an open end and a lid for connection with the cup open end and closing the cup chamber. A closure and a specimen collection needle are connected with the lid and a reservoir is arranged beneath the lid and connected with the closure for rotation relative to the lid between open and closed positions. The closure affords access to the needle when the closure is in the open position and prevents access to the needle when the closure is in the closed position. The reservoir includes a chamber closed by a portion of the lid when the closure is in the open position. When the closure is rotated to the closed position, the reservoir is opened for communication with the cup chamber to release an absorbent material from the reservoir chamber into the cup chamber to solidify any residual fluid specimen within the cup chamber.

A biochemical detection device is revealed. The biochemical detection device includes a cap and a base arranged at two ends of a test tube correspondingly and a driving member disposed on the base. A sample-mounting slot and a test-paper-mounting slot separated from each other are formed in the test tube. After sampling, a sample obtained is placed into the sample-mounting slot and mixed with an extraction solution therein. A thin-film on the sample-mounting slot is penetrated by the driving member to allow the extraction solution mixed with the sample flowing into a cavity of the test tube to react with a test strip in the test-paper-mounting slot. The test cost is reduced and the detection efficiency is improved due to simple structure and easy operation. Moreover, the sample and the extraction solution are sealed in the test tube to prevent environmental pollution caused by spread of viruses.

The present disclosure relates to a glove arrangement (20) for mounting to a barrier wall (15) of a barrier system (10) comprising a sleeve arrangement (21). The first and second sleeves (40, 41) comprise first and second internal surfaces (90, 91). The intermediate sleeve (40) comprises an intermediate internal surface (92), an outer perimeter (61) attached to the first sleeve (40) and an inner perimeter (62) attached to the second sleeve (41), the outer perimeter (61) having a greater diameter than the inner perimeter (62). In an extended configuration the first sleeve (40) extends from the second and intermediate sleeves (40) for use during manipulation of the glove (22) by an operator. In a retracted configuration the second sleeve (41) is retracted at least partially inside the first sleeve (40) about the intermediate sleeve (40) such that the first and second internal surfaces (90, 91) at least partially face each other. The intermediate sleeve (40) separates the intermediate internal surface (92) from itself and from the first and second internal surfaces (90, 91) to form a cavity (48) between the first, second and intermediate internal surfaces (90, 91, 92).

The present invention discloses an eco-friendly recyclable dropper, comprising a pressing portion and a pipette, wherein a bottom of the pressing portion is wrapped around a top of the pipette, wherein a bottom inner wall of the pressing portion includes a concave groove, wherein a top outer wall of the pipette includes a corresponding convex circle, wherein the concave groove matches with the convex circle and become airtight based on the characteristics of both material, wherein the pressing portion is made of PE material, wherein the pipette is made of PP material. Since the pressing head is made of PE material or a mixture material of PE and PP, and the pipette is made of PP material, a combination of the pressing head and the pipette is better in airtightness comparing to prior arts using glass pipettes; furthermore, the design of the pressing head and the concave groove and the convex circle of the pipette provides better airtightness; the dropper and the bottle of this invention both used PP and PE material, which can be fully recycled and reused after using the liquid within, avoids environmental pollution and saves resources. The market of this invention is very wide and this invention has a breakthrough meaning in the dropper field.

The present invention relates to a whole blood and fingertip blood testing device, including a blood collection structure and a testing chamber connected to and in fluid communication with the blood collection structure. The blood collection structure includes a collection rod, a capillary channel is arranged inside the collection rod, the bottom end of the capillary channel is located at the tail end of the collection rod, and the top end of the capillary channel is located in the middle of the capillary channel; and the collection rod is provided with a communicating hole connected to and communicated with the top end of the capillary channel. Moreover, the present invention also provides a method for collecting and testing a blood sample by using the testing device. Through the integrated structure of the blood collection structure, the testing chamber and the buffer chamber, the whole blood and fingertip blood testing device and method achieve functions of collecting, slowly releasing and testing the blood sample. The operation is easy, which reduces the difficulty of use by the operator. The number of times and time that the operator contacts the sample are effectively reduced, and the infectious possibility of the operator is reduced, so that the testing device is suitable for HIV testing, novel coronavirus testing, etc. The testing device and method have low requirements on the collected amount of the sample, and the collected amount is optimized from the milliliter level to the microliter level.

The present invention relates to a container assembly for collecting and transporting a tissue sample. The container includes a container having a chamber therein for receiving the tissue sample. The container assembly includes a cap configured to be attached to the container to close off the chamber. The cap includes a base section, which is configured to be attached to the container, and a movable section, which is movably coupled to the base section. The base section and movable section are configured to form a reservoir therebetween, the reservoir being sized and shaped so as to contain a preservation solution. The base section and the movable section are configured such that the preservation solution is discharged into the chamber from the reservoir when the movable section is moved relative to the base section from a closed position to an open position.

Systems, methods, and collection devices are disclosed for rapid, local PCR testing. The PCR testing system may be configured for use with a disposable sample collection device that includes a swab configured for collecting a biological sample from a patient; and a sample container configured to receive the swab and separate a bulk quantity of the biological sample from the swab for containment in a bulk collection chamber, which is located with the sample container, wherein the sample container is configured to meter a selected volume of the biological sample into a PCR sample tube, which contains a lyophilized master mix, releasably attachable to the sample container.

The present technology is directed to extraction devices, systems, and methods for controllably withdrawing and transferring fluid samples, such as blood, from a sample collection container to a testing device. For example, some embodiments of the present technology provide fluid extraction devices that include a fluid control module, a housing containing a receiving element and a suction element, and an actuator. To transfer blood from a sample collection container to a testing device, a user places the sample collection container over the receiving element and inserts the testing device into an outlet of the fluid control module. The user then pushes a lever or otherwise actuates the actuator, which automatically withdraws a predetermined volume of blood from the sample collection container and transfers it to the testing device positioned at the outlet of the fluid control module.
