Abstract

Methods, devices, systems, and kits useful for the collection and analysis of samples obtained by swabs are disclosed. Swab containers configured for receiving a swab containing a sample; cartridges for holding one or more of: a swab container, a swab, assay units, pipette tips, vessels, transport units, and implements; systems (which may include a sample processing device); kits; and methods for their use are disclosed. A swab container may include an entry port; an assay chamber having an assay port; a conduit comprising an interior channel connecting the entry port; and an interior channel providing fluidic communication between the entry port and assay chamber. An interior channel may be configured to squeeze a portion of a swab placed in or through the conduit.A cartridge may include a cartridge frame configured to receive one or more of swab containers, assay units, transport units, pipette tips, vessels or implements.

Description

Background technique [0001] Collection of fluid or tissue samples is often required in the diagnosis and treatment of subjects with many diseases and medical conditions. Sample collection from the mouth, nose, throat, and other locations can be accomplished by swabbing or scraping the body surface. For example, some diseases, such as influenza and other respiratory conditions; tuberculosis; bacterial infections such as diphtheria, pertussis, and bacterial infections caused by staphylococci, streptococci, pneumococci, and other bacteria; viral infections, such as, for example, adenovirus infections; some genetic Genetic diseases caused by or associated with traits; and other diseases and conditions. Disease can also be detected by analyzing urine samples and other clinical samples. [0002] Analysis of a sample often requires transferring the collected fluid or tissue from the swab to a vessel, slide, or analysis device. However, such transfers are often incomplete and loss...
