Problems solved by technology

For this, a woman needs to go to the hospital and allow a doctor to take cervical cells from her genitalia, which is a burden on her in terms of time and costs as well as causes her to feel embarrassment due to the fact that she reveals her genitals to a clinician.
In addition, a typical instrume

EXAMPLE

[0059]Samples of materials (Samples 1 to 60) capable of constituting the adsorbent layer of the filter unit were provided, followed by measurement of the fineness, compression resilience (RC), and standard moisture regain (SMR) of each of the samples.

[0060]After the length and weight of fibers were measured, based on standard length and unit weight specified in the provided samples, fineness (unit: denier) of each of the samples was calculated according to Equation 2:

D={standard length (L) / unit weight (W)}×{weight of fiber (w) / length of fiber (l)}  Equation 2

[0061]Compression resilience of each of the samples was measured 5 times using a KES-FB system. Measured compression resilience values were averaged based on measurement data with a standard deviation of 10 or less. Results are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Specifically, the compression resilience of each of the samples was measured 5 times under a maximum pressure (Pm) of 500 gf / cm2 at measurement intervals of 10 seconds o

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a sample collection apparatus. The sample collection apparatus includes a self-sampling pad and a cell fixing container, wherein the sample collection pad includes a filter unit, the structure and material of which are such that cells, viruses and DNAs contained in vaginal secretions can be efficiently absorbed and attached to the filter unit and can be efficiently detached from the filter unit in a cell preserving solution after the filter unit is removed and put into the cell preserving solution. Thus, the filter unit includes at least one adsorbent layer which is formed of a hydrophobic material having low fineness and high resilience.
