ABSTRACT:
A device for quantitively collecting, preserving and mailing a fresh and wet specimen of fecal or other biological matter for later analysis comprises a tubular vessel defining a chamber closed at one axial end by an openable plug and restricted at the opposite end by a narrow aperture. A stopper for closing the open end of the vessel extends into a stick for dipping into and retaining some of the biological matter. The shank of the stick is dimensioned to seal the aperture once the stopper has been screwed upon the open end of the vessel. A cover caps the plug to provide additional sealing of that end of the vessel during transportation. The mail transportation of the vessel device with a sealable shipping capsule that is essentially leakproof. A disposable telescoping handle mounts to the stopper to allow the user to stab at matter such as feces in a toilet without contacting the toilet water.
