Abstract: A disposable, pre-packaged device is particularly suitable for conducting diagnostic procedures based on immunological reactions using specimens gathered in the absorbent tip of a swab. The device is made up of an elongated holder member which includes structure for supporting and positioning a swab, another holder member hingedly mounted at one end of the swab holder member and which carries a capture media element assemblage suitable for conducting an immunoassay test. The device also includes a cover member hingedly mounted on the opposite end of the swab holder member. The cover member includes structure positioned for pressing the swab tip against the capture element when the device is operated. Thus, the light in the swab tip is squeezed and the test fluid is expressed therefrom and brought into intimate contact with the capture element. The results of the test are visually observable by simply swinging the member which carries the capture element away from the swab holder member.
