ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in detecting Neisseria gonorrhoeae in females including a container and operative elements sealed therein. The test makes use of a dry pledget impregnated with reactant chemicals that is adapted to be activated upon being wetted. The test kit includes a stem fitted with an end swab upon which a specimen is collected by probing the patient, a reaction chamber cooperatively arranged with respect to the swab, and a frangible container for holding a wetting fluid adapted to activate the pledget when the test is to be run. The reaction chamber serves the dual function of providing a protective cover for the swab as the specimen is being collected thereon as well as holding the pledget in position for engagement with the specimen to complete the test. A protective skirt surrounds the stem above the swab to ensure the accuracy of the test by preventing such bacteria as pseudomonas which are also present in areas near where the specimen is collected.
