Sampler

I think "sampler" works in this case. The Routledge technical dictionary offers:
testigo m
AGUA sample
CARBÓN, GAS core sample
MINAS de perforación core, sondeos bore core, core sample
TEC PETR evaluación de la formación core, perforación core sample
OXFORD SUPERLEX gives:
2 testigo m
a (en carreras de relevos) baton
b (en experimentos) control
c (mojón) marker
d (luz) warning light, indicator light

The "sampler" would be the device that collects the samples.

"NEW SAMPLER FOR THE COLLECTION, SIZING, AND ENUMERATION OF VIABLE PARTICLES..."

neutral philgoddard : Maybe, but there's nothing about sampler in your Spanish references.

"NEW SAMPLER FOR THE COLLECTION,"... is one google ref. The others are from my dictionaries.A t least my suggestion is less specific than tubes/containers, which IMHO presupposes too much.

sampling tube / sampling container

los testigos en los que debían quedar depositadas las partículas ... extrraidas
This implies that the testgos are some kind of containers, tubes containing the samples.
Withoug an inkling as to what these testigos are really, the above might be right
