Claims48
A device comprising:
- an active collection component comprising a first surface area configured to be an active collection surface area;
- a handling component;
- wherein the active collection, component is detachably connected to the handling component;
- and
- wherein the device is configured to:
- a) collect a biological sample from at least a first surface area of a substrate to the active collection surface area, wherein the active collection surface area is at least 50% smaller than the at least first surface area of the substrate, wherein the active collection surface area is configured to be the surface area encompassing an exterior edge of an angled fold of the active collection component, wherein the angled fold is formed over a first portion of the handling component;
- and b) permit nucleic acid amplification reaction of the biological sample collected on the active collection surface area.
