ABSTRACT:
A resealable blister-type package, and method for using the same for storing and transporting a sample collecting device that is used to gather a biological sample, are disclosed. The package includes a tray-like enclosure having two cavities therein, and a resealable cover that covers the openings to the cavities. A sample collecting device, such as a swab, is stored in one of the cavities. The resealable cover is opened to remove the swab to collect the sample, and the used swab is reinserted into the other cavity of the package. The cover is then reattached over the openings of the cavities to reseal the cavities so that the package is ready for storage and transport. The package can alternatively include only one cavity that is used to store the swab in its unused and used condition. A medium can be disposed in the cavity in which the used swab is stored, or in a separate cavity that is in communication with the used swab storage cavity by a breakable seal. The enclosures can further include hinged sections to allow easier access to the cavities.
