1. A kit for analysis of a vaginal biological sample, the kit comprising:
(a) a sample collector for collecting a vaginal biological sample; and
(b) an extractor configured to receive and enclose the sample collector, the extractor comprising:
(i) a first chamber configured to receive the sample collector via an opening such that the sample collector is primarily retained in the first chamber;
(ii) a second chamber configured for selective fluid communication with the first chamber,
the second chamber comprising a breakable reagent compartment,
wherein the breakable reagent compartment comprises a solution, said solution configured for preserving, storing, or analyzing the vaginal biological sample; and

(iii) a moveable compression element;

wherein the moveable compression element is configured to close onto the breakable reagent compartment creating a compression force with a projection or surface of the compression element to break the breakable reagent compartment and release said solution, thereby contacting said solution with said vaginal biological sample to form a mixture of said solution and said vaginal biological sample;
wherein said mixture is received in said second chamber;
wherein said mixture is free to flow between said first chamber, said second chamber, and said sample collector after said breakable reagent compartment is broken.
