Abstract: An analyte detection apparatus is disclosed and configured for testing a substance for the presence or absence of at least one target analyte. In at least one embodiment, a housing provides a mixing chamber and a testing chamber in selective fluid communication with the mixing chamber. During use of the apparatus, an end cap is disengaged from the housing, a volume of the substance is collected via a collection scoop provided by the end cap, the end cap is re-engaged with the housing, thereby introducing the substance from the collection scoop into the mixing chamber, the substance is mixed with a delivery fluid within the mixing chamber, and a mixing valve is rotated into an open position, allowing the substance to travel into the testing chamber and come into contact with a test medium, with a resulting visual indication from the test medium being viewable via a result window.
