Pouch for in-vitro diagnostic items

A pouch for a diagnosis item, the pouch comprising a pocket portion and a buffer supporter formation portion, wherein:

• the pocket portion includes a storage space configured to hold the diagnosis item, the diagnosis item being one or more buffers, each of the one or more buffers having an elongate shape and being configured to hold a sample diluent;
• and
• the buffer supporter formation portion comprises at least one sheet that is connected to one side of the pocket portion,
• the at least one sheet extends from the one side of the pocket portion,
• the buffer supporter formation portion includes a buffer support hole that is sized to receive one buffer among the one or more buffers and support the one buffer such that the one buffer is oriented in an upright state to avoid spilling of the sample diluent,
• the buffer supporter formation portion includes a bending member, of a material different from a material of the at least one sheet, that is configured to allow bending of the buffer supporter formation portion into a U shape that includes (i) a shelf that includes the buffer support hole, (ii) a left leg portion extending from one end of the shelf, and (iii) a right leg portion extending from another end of the shelf, and
• the bending member is configured to hold the buffer supporter formation portion in the U shape after the buffer supporter formation portion is detached from the pocket portion and bent into the U shape, such that the buffer support hole included in the shelf is spaced from a horizontal surface when the left leg portion and the right leg portion are placed on the horizontal surface, enabling support of the one buffer in the upright state.
