<p>The present invention relates to a simplified device for sampling and testing of fluids, suitable for being operated by one hand, while also minimising the risk of contamination, such as e.g. undesirable bacterial growth on the outside of the device. The device comprises a tip, a container and flexible and resilient actuating means connected to the container. Said actuating means, together with said container, defines a continuous compartment with an opening. A displaceable member exhibiting an active test surface (such as an agar plate) is disposed inside the container and provided to be mechanically affected by said actuating means. The invention also relates to a simplified method for sampling and testing fluids, such as testing urine for the presence of microorganisms.</p> |
