摘要： The concepts herein relate to a device for collecting, transferring and storing samples of biological and/or chemical material. The device includes a support body extending along a main longitudinal direction between a first and a second end opposite each other and a collecting portion engaged with one of said ends of the support body and suitable for collecting an amount of a sample of biological and/or chemical material. The support body is defined by at least a first sub-body and a second sub-body extending longitudinally and configured to be selectively engaged and separated with and from each other. The support body is configured to operate between an assembled condition, wherein the first and the second sub-body are engaged with each other, and a separated condition, wherein the first and the second sub-body are separated and bear, respectively, a first and a second sub-collecting portion of the collecting portion.
