ABSTRACT:
A culture collecting swab and a sealed glass ampoule packaged end to end in an envelope and initially are held in an assembled condition by a resiliently yieldable closure member which is carried on the end of the stem of the swab and which includes a cup portion snugly telescoped on one end portion of the ampoule. After a culture has been collected on the tip of the swab, the ampoule is broken open along a score line inside the cup portion of the closure member, the end portion broken off the ampoule being retained in the cup portion. The tip and end of the swab are then inserted into the ampoule through the open end thereof to immerse the tip in a culture-sustaining media and, as an incident to this, a plug portion on the closure member enters and closes the open end of the ampoule.
