ABSTRACT:
A self contained diagnostic test unit is provided for use in the collection and analysis of a biological specimen or the like. The test unit comprises a tubular housing defining a specimen chamber for receiving a specimen disposed, for example, on a specimen collection device such as a swab or the like. A reagent dispenser cap may be associated with the housing for delivering one or more selected reagents to the specimen chamber for contacting the collected specimen. A diagnostic strip assembly is mounted on the housing and comprises a diagnostic test strip adapted for controlled contact with the collected specimen, for causing a portion of the specimen to flow by wick action through the test strip. The specimen interacts with one or more reagents disposed along the test strip to produce a visible reaction such as a color change which can be observed from the exterior of the test unit to provide an indication of the result of a selected diagnostic test.
