Abstract

The invention provides an apparatus (1; 20) for the detection of a contaminant in a fluid, and also a method of detecting a contaminant in a stored fluid using the apparatus. The apparatus comprises a primary chamber (2) for storing the fluid, and a secondary detection chamber (4; 21) which includes a test reagent or combination of reagents suitable for the detection of the contaminant in the fluid. A flow path (6; 23) from the primary chamber (2) to the secondary chamber (4; 21) is provided which is normally closed, but which is openable to enable a sample volume of fluid to pass from the primary chamber (2) to the secondary chamber (4; 21) for detection of the contaminant in the fluid.
