A method for oral sampling and rapid, specific detection of the urease activity associated with infection in humans without the need for sample incubation. The method involves the steps of gargling, or gargling and rinsing the mouth with a measured volume of sampling liquid with known characteristics; retrieving an oral liquid sample into a collection container ; acidifying the oral liquid sample; and contacting the oral liquid sample within the collection container with a urease detecting pad containing urease substrate for detection of urease activity present in the oral liquid sample. The urease detecting pad can contain pH indicator for visual identification of color change associated with presence of urease activity in the oral liquid sample. The method provides for sampling of both the pharynx and mouth of the human, either separately or combined for diagnosis. pH change of the oral liquid sample associated with placing of the urease detecting pad onto the sample provides an additional or separate indicator of the presence of urease activity in the oral liquid sample.

Disclosed is a package for a personal care composition, the package comprising a container containing a personal care composition, the container having a base comprising a base face for standing the package on a planar surface, and a cap removably connected to and covering a dispensing end of the container opposite to the base. The cap has an end face which is inclined to the base face, and the container and cap are shaped to permit the package, independent of the amount of the personal care composition contained within the container, selectively to be stood on the base face in an upright orientation on the planar surface or on the end face in an inverted orientation on the planar surface.

A non-invasive, non-instrumented method and test kit for oral sampling and subsequent rapid or point-of-care sample analysis and diagnosis, including pH determination for detecting the presence and extent of gastroesophageal (acid) reflux. The test for acid reflux includes sampling of the pharynx by gargling with specified liquid (10) and then retrieving the resulting fluid and measuring its pH. The invention may be used both for rapid self-testing in the home as well as for point-of-care diagnosis by health professionals. A test kit for obtaining an oral sample contains an article (16) for measuring the sampling liquid (10) for gargling, a container (12) for depositing the sampling liquid (10) after gargling, a horizontal line (14) provided thereon to serve as an indicator that an adequate volume of gargled sampling liquid (10) was collected, and diagnostic tools (18, 20, 22, 24) for identification of a characteristic of interest, such as pH, of the retrieved sampling liquid (10) within the collection container (12) at the time of retrieval.
