ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A device for the uptake, transportation and recovery of cell material present in body fluids, cell- fixing liquids, and mixtures of body fluids and cell- fixing liquids, and also for the transfer of the recovered cell materials to microscope slides. The device comprises a vessel with an inlet and an outlet; a removable fiber element is arranged, flush with the wall, in the outlet, and comprises fibers which are insoluble in body fluids and cell-fixing liquids and which are arranged lengthwise in the direction of the long axis of the vessel with the formation of through capillaries, such that the capillaries have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the cells. The vessel can be liquid-tightly and gas-tightly closed. Preferably, the fibers of the fiber element are crimped and/or texturized fibers and/or hollow fibers. In contrast to conventional devices and methods for the recovery of cells from cell-fixing liquids, in which the cells must be caused to sediment or settle and a long time is required, the separation of cells and cell-fixing liquids takes place in a very short time with the device according to this invention. Apart from this, the recovered cells can be directly transferred to microscope slides.
