Invention describes a method and a device for testing toxicity of a test sample. The method comprises at least the steps of: providing an aliquot or a volume of light producing test reagent liquid in a reagent vial, moistening a control swab with the light producing test reagent liquid, moistening a test swab with the test sample, moistening the test swab with the light producing test reagent liquid, reading luminescence of the control swab in a luminometer and thereby obtaining a luminescence value of a control sample, reading luminescence of the test swab in the luminometer and obtaining a luminescence value of the test sample, calculating the toxicity of the test sample by comparing the luminescence value of the control sample to the luminescence value of the test sample. According to the invention the moistenings of the control swab and the test swab with the light producing test reagent liquid are done with the same aliquot of light producing test reagent liquid in the same reagent vial.” 2. The method according to claim 1 , whereinthe test sample and the aliquot of light producing test reagent liquid are mixed together, thereby producing a mixture, and thereafterthe test swab is moistened with the test sample and with the light producing test reagent liquid by moistening the test swab in said mixture.3. The method according to claim 1 , whereinthe aliquot of light producing test reagent liquid in the reagent vial is provided by reconstituting a light producing test reagent with reconstitution liquid in the reagent vial.4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the light producing test reagent is reconstituted by puncturing a reconstitution liquid chamber with the control swab claim 3 , thereby arranging the reconstitution liquid to mix with the light producing test reagent in the reagent vial.6. The method according claim 5 , wherein the control swab and the test swab are moved inside the elongated device body in their own separate tubes keeping the swabs ...
