Patent

CA 2147498

An assaying device is provided for collecting a sample, analyzing a portion of the sample and shipping of an unadul- tered remainder of the sample. In order to reduce manual handling and thereby to reduce contamination risk as well as the risk of misidentification of a sample the assaying device comprises: container means (12), having an opening (14), for collecting a sample, and a chamber (18), for storing said sample; cap means (28) for sealing the container means (12) opening (14); assay means (40), attached to said container means (12), for chem- ically analyzing said sample, said as- say means (40) being positioned on said container means (12) for enabling direct visual observation thereof; and means, spaced apart from said chamber and said chamber and said assay means (36), for introducing the sample portion into the assay means and preventing flooding of the assay means by the sample portion, said last mentioned means comprising a plenum (34) disposed between said chamber and said assay means and a wick (52) disposed between said plenum and said assay means.

Un dispositif de dosage est utilisé pour recueillir un échantillon, analyser une partie de l'échantillon et expédier une partie restante non adultérée de l'échantillon. Afin de réduire la manipulation de l'échantillon, et, de ce fait, les risques de contamination ainsi que d'une mauvaise identification d'un échantillon, le dispositif de dosage comprend: un récipient (12) doté d'une ouverture (14) pour recueillir un échantillon, et une chambre (18) pour stocker ce dernier; un couvercle (28) permettant de refermer hermétiquement l'ouverture (14) du récipient (12); un moyen de dosage (40), fixé au récipient (12), et permettant de soumettre l'échantillon à une analyse chimique, ledit moyen de dosage (40) étant placé sur le récipient (12) afin de pouvoir être directement observé; et un moyen, espacé de ladite chambre et dudit moyen de dosage (36), et servant à introduire une partie de l'échantillon dans le moyen de dosage tout en empêchant ladite partie d'inonder ce dernier, ce moyen comprenant une membrane de séparation (34) disposée entre la chambre et le moyen de dosage, ainsi qu'une mèche (52) disposée entre la membrane et ledit moyen de dosage.
