Abstract
A device and method preparing a sample that may contain a target microorganism, includes: placing the sample in a container including: a device for the capture and/or concentration of a target microorganism or of a protein therefrom, including a capture and/or concentration support; a receptacle including; inlet and fluid guides, a device controlling the sample volume transferred from the fluid guide to the capture and/or concentration device through the inlet orifice, an outlet orifice; the capture/concentration device being attached to a wall of the receptacle; generating a displacement of all or part of the sample to the fluid guide and a defined sample volume from the fluid guide to the capture and/or concentration device, capturing and/or concentrating, on the capture and/or concentration support, the target microorganism or a protein from the microorganism, the volume of sample crossing the capture and/or concentration support then exiting again through the outlet orifice.
