Sample collection device

A sample collection device, comprising:

• a tube having an opening for receiving a sampling swab;
• a closure engaged with the tube for enclosing the opening;
• and
• a partitioning member disposed in the tube and the partitioning member comprising:
• a blocking portion disposed close to the opening for covering a portion of the opening so as to leave another uncovered portion of the opening as an entrance for passing the sampling swab therethrough;
• and
• a position-limiting portion connected with the blocking portion and extended into the tube for limiting the sampling swab in a space corresponding to the entrance inside the tube after the sampling swab passes through the entrance,
• wherein the partitioning member further comprises a bending mechanism disposed between the blocking portion and the position-limiting portion, so that the blocking portion is able to bend toward the position-limiting portion for exposing the covered portion of the opening when an external pipet enters the tube.
