Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a device, system and method for sample collection wherein a sample can be separated into multiple portions of sample at the site of collection. The separation of portions of sample occurs by separating parts of the specimen collection device. Each of the separable parts contacting a portion of sample can be deposited into separate vessels. The device reduces the risk of sample contamination, because the separable parts can be separated by the action of a release mechanism that allows a user to separate the parts without touching or otherwise contacting the sample collecting region. The release mechanism may be trigger-activated to expel a separable part of the device.
