ABSTRACT:
A disposable diagnostic swab assembly which takes the form of an elongated tubular member having an internal chamber which is permanently closed at the inner end and is openable at the outer end by the removal of a cap. A culture medium containing breakable pouch is located within the internal chamber at the inner end. An elongated swab is attached to the cap with the tip of the swab being located directly adjacent the pouch. The pouch is to be breakable by applying localized pressure upon the tubular member in the area of the pouch which causes the culture medium to saturate the tip of the swab. A glass slide section may also be attached to the tubular member with access to the glass slide being permitted to facilitate usage thereof.
