[0009] The utility model discloses a beneficial effect: in the specimen suction, only need to place micropore filter membrane in the specimen, then make sampling tube puncture rubber plug, because the pressure of outside air is greater than the pressure in the sampling cylinder, under the action of negative pressure, the specimen enters the sampling cylinder, and the cell, bacteria etc. in the specimen are intercepted by micropore filter membrane, thereby quickly complete sampling, reach the purpose of reducing cell, bacteria detection cost. Such mode can separate sampling and detection. When needing, can set up a large amount of collection point quickly, and these collection points can complete the bacteria collection and preparation through relatively simple operation. Then, the specimen will be collected and detected uniformly, thereby can establish the long -term investigation mechanism of the source of infection, which not only improves the detection efficiency, but also reduces the detection cost. Meanwhile, centralized staining reading film also facilitates the statistical archiving work, ensures the detection quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
