SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A SAMPLE

A device is provided comprising a receiving chamber for receiving a patient's sample, a first reagent reservoir and a second reagent reservoir. The receiving chamber may be configured for receiving atleast an end portion of a sample collecting element, with the patient's sample being collected by that sample collecting element. The first reagent reservoir may generally be configured to accommodate a liquid reagent which may include a lysing agent, i.e. the liquid may be a kind of a lysis buffer. Likewise, the second reagent reservoir may generally be configured to accommodate a dry reagent which may include magnetic particles. The device may further comprise at least one of the following two actuators, a first actuator for supplying a first reagent from the first reagent reservoir to thesample and a second actuator for supplying a second reagent from the second reagent reservoir to the resulting mixture. 提供了一种装置，其包括用于接收患者样本的接收室、第一试剂储存器和第二试剂储存器。接收室可被配置成用于接收样本收集元件的至少一个端部，患者的样本由该样本收集元件收集。第一试剂储存器通常可被配置成容置液体试剂，该液体
