ABSTRACT:
A device for collecting samples for microbiological studies in which a holder, or stopper member, is provided having a rod extending therefrom to which a cotton swab, or the like, can be connected. The holder, or stopper member, includes a first region adapted for sealing engagement with the neck of an inner container, or tube, surrounding the swab to keep the swab in a sterile condition. An outer container, or tube, is also provided which surrounds the inner container and which is also adapted for sealing engagement with the holder, or stopper member. The outer container is adapted for receiving a nutrient medium. When the containers are removed and a microbiological sample is taken by the swab, the outer container can immediately be replaced on the holder thereby maintaining the swab in uncontaminated condition and with the sample taken by the swab in the presence of a medium which will preserve the growth potential of the sample.
