MULL ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device for use in the collection and transpor- tation of medical specimens is disclosed. The device includes a swab and a receptacle for the swab which con- tains 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 speci- men so that the specimen is immersed in the media material. The septum comprises a sleeve retained inside the receptacle and a diaphragm which normally closes an internal passageway in the sleeve but which can be dislodged by the swab in penetrating the septum. 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 col- lected. In another embodiment, the swab is initially separate from the receptacle.
