摘要：
Apparatus for use in performing an assay to detect the presence of an analyte or analytes in a test sample is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a housing (22) defining a slot (21) for receiving a sample collector (10). The slot also receives a capsule (31) containing a buffer liquid, the capsule (31) being sealed by an openable lid (32). Insertion of a sample collector (10) into the slot (21) causes the lid (32) to open releasing the buffer liquid into the slot (21). The housing (22) further defines an incubation chamber (24) containing or configured to receive a reagent, and an aperture (42) permitting liquid communication between the slot (21) and the incubation chamber (24). The apparatus comprises one or more test elements (28), a substantially liquid tight sealing member separating the incubation chamber (24) and the test element(s) (28). An activation mechanism operates to open the liquid tight sealing member thereby bringing at least a portion of the or each test element (28) into liquid communication with the incubation chamber (24).
