Abstract
A device for sucking an effusion fluid from the skin of an organism from which keratin has been removed. A disk is received in the cavity of a cell for sucking an effusion fluid in contact with the surface of an organism. Guide grooves are formed in the surface of the disk facing a suction port while holes are formed through the disk in each guide groove. The disk allows a minimum of fluid to remain thereon and guides the fluid toward the suction side in order to enhance efficient collection. When the fluid is collected a plurality of times, the preceding fluid and the following fluid are prevented from being mixed together, insuring accurate measurement.
