Microtube

Abstract

A microtube comprises a sample receptor, a lid and a strip storage storing a chromatography strip. The chromatography strip is stored in a hollow part of the strip storage. The hollow part of the strip storage and an inner space of the sample receptor may be communicated in a closed condition under a state where the sample receptor and the lid are engaged.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A microtube, comprising:
 a sample receptor, a lid, and a joint which is arranged on at least one of the sample receptor and the lid, and to which a strip storage storing a chromatography strip may be jointed, wherein,   under a state where the sample receptor and the lid are engaged and the strip storage is jointed to the joint, a hollow part of the strip storage and an inner space of the sample receptor are brought into communication in a closed state by breaking through the sample receptor or the lid with the chromatography strip.   
     
     
         2 . A strip storage, comprising:
 a second joint and a strip storage enclosing a chromatography strip, wherein   the second joint may be jointed to a first joint arranged on at least one of a sample receptor and a lid of a microtube comprising the sample receptor and the lid, and   under a state where the second joint is jointed to the first joint, a hollow part of the strip storage and an inner space of the sample receptor are brought into communication in a closed state by breaking through the sample receptor or the lid with the chromatography strip.   
     
     
         3 . The strip storage according to  claim 2 , wherein the strip storage has a bellows section so as to be stretchable and contractable. 
     
     
         4 . The strip storage according to  claim 2 , wherein the chromatography strip comprises a bar member. 
     
     
         5 . The strip storage according to  claim 2 , wherein the chromatography strip comprises a tip end part that breaks through the lid part.
