Abstract

A probe for inserting into a body cavity for analysis purposes has a flexible body (10) with a small opening (12), one end which is controlled by a strip of material (14) acting as a one way valve. Alternately a ball valve may be used. On the outside, above the opening is a sponge or cotton plug (13) forming a collector. Inside may be retained a catalyst or nutrient medium (18). Another design has a tube with an absorbent plug at its open end and a removable cap at the top, for access to a container which has a wick secured along it by flexible securing bands. At the other end is a one way valve. Further designs enclose an absorbent wad through which liquid passes by capillary action.
