ABSTRACT:
A specimen testing device having first and second panels and a reagent sheet therebetween. The first panel has an aperture with a cover and the second cover has an aperture opposite the aperture in the first panel. The sheet in the first aperture has first and second portions disposed on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis of the panel and a fecal specimen is smeared on the sheet in the apertures so as to cover the first and second portions. The second panel is provided with a cover which overlies the first portion of the sheet and with a further cover which overlies the second portion of the sheet. The further cover is selectively moveable depending on the outcome of testing of the sample on the first portion through the respective aperture on the second panel.
