A self-packaged structure for use as a test kit for convenient handling of the component parts of the kit as a modular unit. The structure is designed such that tests may be carried out using certain components to effect semi-automatic collection of chemical or biochemical fractions in tubes. The fractions result from allowing a liquid sample to flow through a column which contains support media. The components of the structure include, rack structures which are adapted to package the columns and tubes in a stackable array and a tray adapted to secure the rack structures in a group.
