A method of processing a sample may include introducing a sample into a vessel, the vessel having proximal and distal ends, the sample being introduced into the proximal end of the vessel; incubating the sample in the vessel with a substance capable of specific binding to a preselected component of the sample; propelling components of the incubated sample, other than the preselected component, toward the proximal end of the vessel by clamping the vessel distal to the incubated sample and compressing the vessel where the incubated sample is contained; propelling the preselected component toward a distal segment of the vessel by clamping the vessel proximal to the preselected component and compressing the vessel where the preselected component is contained; and mixing the preselected component with a reagent in the distal segment of the vessel.

1. A sample processing tubule, comprising: (a) at least three segments, each of which is: defined by the tubule; fluidly isolated, at least in part by a breakable seal; so expandable as to receive a volume of fluid expelled from another segment; and so compressible as to contain substantially no flu
1. A sample processing tubule, comprising: (a) at least three segments, each of which is: defined by the tubule; fluidly isolated, at least in part by a breakable seal; so expandable as to receive a volume of fluid expelled from another segment; and so compressible as to contain substantially no fluid when so compressed; wherein the at least three segments each contains at least one reagent; and(b) a cap configured to mate with and seal the tubule at a first opening in a first segment of the at least three segments, wherein the cap comprises (i) a substantially hollow cap body extending from a top of the cap body to an orifice at a base of the cap body, and (ii) a cover having a vent hole and positioned on the top of the cap body. 2. The tubule of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the tubule is transparent. 3. The tubule of claim 1, further comprising at least one pressure gate in fluid communication with at least one segment. 4. The tubule of claim 1, further comprising at least one filter in the tubule. 5. The tubule of claim 1, wherein at least one of the reagents includes a substance capable of specific binding to a preselected component of a sample when the sample is added to the tubule. 6. The tubule of claim 5, wherein the substance is coupled to a solid substrate. 7. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the substance forms a coating on the solid substrate. 8. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the solid substrate comprises at least one of beads, a pad, a filter, a sheet, an electrostatic surface, and a portion of a tubule wall surface. 9. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the substrate comprises at least one of silica beads, magnetic beads, silica magnetic beads, glass beads, nitrocellulose colloid beads, and magnetized nitrocellulose colloid beads. 10. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the substance comprises silica, and the substrate comprises a filter or a sheet. 11. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the substrate comprises a pad formed at least in part from an absorbent material comprising at least one of paper, film, filter, foam, mesh, and fiber matrix. 12. The tubule of claim 6, wherein the substrate is coupled to a tubule wall. 13. The tubule of claim 1, further comprising a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a pad formed at least in part from an absorbent material comprising at least one of paper, film, filter, foam, mesh, and fiber matrix. 14. The tubule of claim 1, wherein the cap further comprises an affixed microbe barrier or a filter. 15. The tubule of claim 1 wherein the cap body further comprises a flexible membrane. 16. The tubule of claim 1, further comprising a frame to which the tubule is mounted. 17. The tubule of claim 1, further comprising a proximal end including the first opening and through which a sample is introducible, and a distal end, and wherein a second segment is distal to a first segment, and a third segment is distal to the second segment. 18. The tubule of claim 1, wherein the segments form a substantially linear array. 19. The tubule of claim 1, wherein the segments form a contiguous array. 20. The tubule of claim 1 wherein the cap further comprises an integrated collection tool. 21. The tubule of claim 20 wherein the integrated collection tool comprises a swab, capillary tube, liquid dropper, inoculation loop, syringe, absorbent pad, forceps, scoop or stick to facilitate the collection and insertion of liquid or solid samples into the tubule. 22. The tubule of claim 20 wherein the integrated collection tool comprises one or more reagents.
