1. A collection and test device for a rapid test, comprising:
a test fluid accommodation part having a test fluid accommodation space for accommodating a test fluid;
a test paper accommodation part having a test paper accommodation space for accommodating a test paper; and
a collection probe for collecting a sample, which has a channel for the test fluid to flow out from the collection probe,
wherein the test paper accommodation part comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the test paper accommodation part is connected to the test fluid accommodation part and the second end of the test paper accommodation part is connected to the collection probe, and the test paper accommodation space communicates with the channel of the collection probe, and wherein the test paper accommodation part is between the test fluid accommodation part and the collection probe, and
wherein the test fluid accommodation space and the test paper accommodation space are separated from each other by a temporary barrier, and the temporary barrier can be manually removed or broken to make the test fluid accommodation space communicate with the test paper accommodation space, enabling the test fluid to first wet the test paper, thus subsequently enabling the test fluid with the collected sample to diffuse through the test paper.
