A sampler comprising:
- a tip having a specimen extracting portion formed at an end portion of the tip for accommodating an extracted specimen therein;
- and
- a single chamber having a penetrable pouch disposed at a first end of the chamber, a penetrable discharge film formed at a second end of the chamber so as to accommodate a reagent inside the chamber,
- wherein the reagent and the specimen are mixed together in the chamber so as to form a reacted specimen in the chamber while the end portion of the tip firstly penetrates through the pouch and is inserted into the chamber when the tip moves in a first direction, and the reacted specimen is quantitatively discharged out from the chamber through the second end of the chamber while the end portion of the tip secondly penetrates through the discharge film when the tip further moves in the first direction, and
- wherein the chamber further includes a pressing portion that is formed with a deformable material, and the reacted specimen is discharged from the chamber based on a pressing of an outer surface of the pressing portion.
