Abstract
A device for use in the collection and transportation of medical specimens is disclosed. The device includes a swab and a receptacle for the swab which contains a media material. The media material is retained in the receptacle by a septum which is penetrated when the swab is inserted after collection of a medical specimen so that the specimen is immersed in the media material. In one embodiment, the swab is initially housed in the receptacle at a first position and can be inserted further into the receptacle to penetrate the septum after a specimen has been collected. In another embodiment, the swab is initially separate from the receptacle.
