The invention relates to a capsule for use in a vaporizer, having at least one first cavity formed at least in part by a lid, side walls and bottom of the capsule, and a vaporizable active substance accommodated in the first cavity of the capsule, wherein the side walls and/or the bottom are at least in sections double-walled with an inner wall facing the first cavity of the capsule and an outer wall facing the outside of the capsule, so that at least one second cavity is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall of the capsule, inner wall facing the first cavity of the capsule and an outer wall facing the outside of the capsule, so that at least one second cavity is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall, wherein an auxiliary substance, preferably a further active substance, a chemical reactant and/or a flavoring agent is accommodated in the second cavity. A corresponding vaporizer as well as a corresponding vaporizer system are further described.

A sample ampoule for calorimetric measurements includes a vial, a lid and a sealing member. The vial, lid and sealing member are adapted to form a hermetically sealed sample ampoule. The vial has a first contact surface and the lid has a second contact surface, the first and second contact surfaces are in contact with each other in a sealed position of the ampoule, and the vial and lid are formed out of materials with different strength.

A standard for testing measurement systems for aqueous chlorine species analysis includes an openable storage vessel and an aqueous composition including a compound having the formula R.sub.1R.sub.2NCl where R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently methyl, ethyl or propyl, wherein the aqueous composition is storage stable within the openable storage vessel.

A three-in-one apparatus for analyzing liquids, such as some body fluids, uses labeled molecular affinity binding, such as immunochromatography. The multi-functional diagnostic test device can detect an analyte, such as an antibody or antigen, which may indicate a particular condition. The multi-functional diagnostic test device provides multi-functional formats to apply in multiple different sampling methods, including the dip, cassette and collection formats. The diagnostic test device can accommodate a plurality of test strips, such as 18 test strips for analyzing up to 90 analytes.

A lateral flow assay (LFA) device includes a capillary pad and a sample port that holds the sample fluid before a hole is made in a cavity surface of the sample port. The LFA device includes a breaker with a tip to make a hole in the cavity wall of the sample port causing the sample fluid held inside the compartment to be applied to the capillary pad after the start of a test.
