DIAGNOSTIC-TEST SPECIMEN-PREPARATION VIAL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A specimen-preparation vial for collecting and preparing a specimen of fecal matter or other clinical specimen for a diagnostic test includes a sample-dilution container and a specimen-collection/dispenser top. The sample-dilution container is shaped to contain a liquid in an interior volume. The container has an opening dimensioned to receive the specimen and a sidewall which is yieldable upon manual squeezing. The specimen-collection/dispenser top includes a cap housing which is connectable to the specimen- dilution container for closing the opening of the container. A specimen-collection tool is connected to the cap housing and projects from the cap housing so that the tool extends into the interior volume of the specimen-dilution container when the cap housing closes the opening of the container. The specimen-collection/dispenser top also includes a dispenser tip connected to the cap housing. The dispenser tip has a channel passing through it which communicates with the interior volume of the sample-dilution container when the cap housing closes the opening of the container. An end of the channel defines a filtrate-discharge orifice. A dispenser-tip closure is provided for closing the filtrate- discharge orifice of the channel passing through the dispenser tip. A microfiltration filter is located in the cap housing in a liquid path extending from the interior volume of the sample-dilution container to the filtrate- discharge orifice of the dispenser tip so that liquid flowing from the interior volume of the container to the filtrate- discharge orifice passes through the microfiltration filter. The microfiltration filter has pores passing through it of dimensions effective to permit virus particles to pass through the pores and to block the passage of particles significantly larger than virus particles.
