Abstract
A system and a method of the interaction and preservation of two or more reagents used in a chemical reaction is described, in which the reagents are put in contact one with another only when a buffer (A) carrying a sample to be treated with said reagents breaks a partition barrier (4, 14) placed between two containers belonging to a device comprising a first upper container (2, 12) and a second lower container (3, 13) of a test tube (1), the bottom wall of the first container (2, 12) forming said partition barrier (4, 14) able to be perforated by the buffer (A) carrying the sample to be treated.
Claims11
A test tube for performing antigen extraction from a wad, the said device comprising a test tube which comprises an inner container and an outer container, the inner container being shaped and configurated to be inserted in said outer container and to form a closure cap for this outer container, a bottom chamber delimited between a bottom of said inner container and a bottom of said outer container, at least the said outer container being made of a flexible material that allows it to be squeezed between the fingers of an operator.
