Abstract
The packaging is in the form of a tape comprising first and second films (4,6) between which are sandwiched objects (7) each placed in an envelope formed by a seal (8) between the films. The first method and the device (20) enable the envelopes to be opened and the objects (27) to be taken therefrom easily. The microbiological analysis method uses a tape with alternating filter membranes for the liquid to be analyzed and absorbent pads for a nutrient medium.
