Abstract: A test kit is provided. The test kit includes a case including a plurality of reagent containers storing reagents, each reagent indicating the presence of a substance when the reagent comes into contact with that substance. The test kit further includes a collector including a collector body, and a plurality of swabs coupled to the collector body and configured to collect substances. The test kit is configured to test for a plurality of collected substances by causing the reagents stored in the plurality of reagent containers to contact at least one of the plurality of swabs, and the test kit is further configured to display results of the test.

Abstract: A test kit is provided. The test kit includes a case including a top including a plurality of indicator pads and a crushing plate rotatable between a first position and a second position, the crushing plate including a plurality of crushing ribs. The case further includes a bottom hingedly coupled to the top, the bottom including a plurality of reagent ampoules storing reagents. When the case is closed with the crushing plate in the second position, the plurality of crushing ribs crush the the plurality of reagent ampoules. The test kit further includes a collector including a collector body, a plurality of swabs extending through the collector body, a removable cover covering a first side of the collector body, and a collector handle coupled to the collector body, wherein the collector is nestable within the case.

Abstract: A visual indication test kit is provided. The visual indication test kit includes a single collector including a plurality of plugs, wherein the plurality of plugs are configured to serve as extraction points for analytes, and mix a plurality of reagents with a plurality of analytes extracted onto the plurality of plugs, wherein the mixing of the plurality of reagents and the plurality of analytes facilitates performing a plurality of visual indications.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a system for preventing a network attack is provided. The system includes a computer having a processor and a computer-readable medium. The system also includes a shield program stored in the computer-readable medium. The shield program is operable, when executed by the processor, to transmit an agent to each of one or more nodes in a network in response to an attack directed to the network. The agent is operable to initiate a reduction of the effect of the attack on the node.
