Device and method for transporting and preparing cellular material

摘要

Embodiments of the invention relate to a device for transporting and preparing cellular material in a fluid for subsequent diagnostic purposes, comprising a cylinder having a fluid-tight screw-on cap and a fluid-tight base part that can be screwed off of the cylinder. The cap can be screwed onto the base part in a fluid-tight matter. The device provides for introducing cellular material to be diagnosed into a fluid in the cylinder, closing the cylinder by a cap for transport, removing the cap, introducing a filter device and concentrating the cellular material on a filter surface, after which the fluid level is at that part of the base part below the connection to the cylinder, disposing of the filtrate, removing the base part, pressing the filter surface onto an object carrier for a cell analysis, and closing the base part by the cap for further transport.

主权项

1. A device for transportation and preparation of cell material in a liquid for diagnostic purposes, comprising:
a cylinder having a first open end and a second open end; a liquid-tight twist cap configured to close the first open end of the cylinder with a liquid-tight seal; and a removable twist bottom part configured to connect to the second open end of the cylinder to form a liquid-tight seal; wherein the twist cap is further configured to connect to the bottom part by screwing to form a liquid-tight seal; the device further comprising a filter device comprising:
a tube to radially fit into the cylinder, the tube having a first, open end, and a second open end outwardly rounded with respect to the tube; anda filter closing the second open end of the tube, the filter extending at least partly out of the tube.
