Device for collecting, transferring, and storing samples of a biological and/or chemical material

A device for collecting, transferring, and storing samples of a biological and/or chemical material, wherein the device comprises:

• a substantially rigid support body, extending along a main longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end opposite to each other and connected by an intermediate portion elongate in the main longitudinal direction,
• a collection portion engaging the first end and configured to collect a quantity of a sample of a biological and/or chemical material, the collection portion being defined at least:
• by one first coating layer realized on the first end of said substantially rigid support body and made from a deformable material, different from an adhesive material, said first coating layer being made liquid-impermeable by coating it with an adhesive material;
• by one first layer of an adhesive material provided between the first coating layer and the first end to attach the first coating layer at least to a front face of the first end;
• and
• by one second coating layer consisting of a layer of flocked fibers, the second coating layer being realized through a fiber flocking process on the first coating layer and being configured to absorb a quantity of liquid including at least one sample of a biological and/or chemical material.
