Abstract
A specimen-preserving implement including, a medium-containing section capable of accommodating a medium holding a specimen, a degradation inhibitor in liquid form that inhibits degradation of a sample to be tested contained in the specimen, an agent holder capable of being impregnated with the degradation inhibitor, and a containing section of a desiccant. The degradation inhibitor transfers to the medium by placing the medium in the medium-containing section in a state in which the agent holder is impregnated with the degradation inhibitor, and the desiccant is enabled to absorb humidity released from the degradation inhibitor without directly contacting the agent holder in a state in which the medium is accommodated in the medium-containing section.
