Device for transferring collected sample e.g. swab sample, from mouth and nose into lab-on-a-chip system by sampler, has transfer vessel bottom attached to fluidic system at lower aperture of transfer vessel

摘要

The device has a sampler unit (1) fastened to a sample retainer pad (4). A sealing plug-in (2) is mounted on a sampler rod (3). The sealing plug-in is pressed either by direct pressing of the sealing unit in a downward direction or by pulling the sampler rod from the sample retainer pad. The sampler unit collects the samples that are located on or in the sample retainer pad, where the samples are transferred to an aperture located at a lower aperture of a transfer vessel. Transfer vessel bottom is attached to a fluidic system at the lower aperture of the transfer vessel. The transfer vessel is sealed by a sheet membrane, aluminum foil and plastic cap. The sample receiving pad is made of plastic, fabric and cotton wool. The transfer vessel is made of antibodies, buffers, reagents, metals, particles, beads, organic or inorganic materials and wet or gel matrices.
