In an embodiment of the invention, a frictional tissue sampling device for obtaining a histological sample from an epithelial layer includes a platform with an axis, an abrasive material comprising a plurality of fibers associated with the platform, where the abrasive material is adapted to abrade the epithelial layer to dislodge the histological sample, where rotation of the platform around the axis rotates the abrasive material, and a collector material comprising a plurality of loops associated with the platform, where rotation of the platform around the axis rotates the collector material, where the collector material is adapted to collect the histological sample dislodged by the abrasive material, where contacting the platform with the epithelial layer and rotation of the platform moves the abrasive material and the collector material over the epithelial layer thereby obtaining the sample.
