Abstract
A syringe, preferably an injector syringe, comprises a cylindrical receiver (1') and inside its plunger device (2') comprising a plunger (3') and a rod (4'). In order for the syringe to simplify taking and handling microbiological sweep samples, the syringe is characterized in that the surface facing away from the plunger (3') rod (4') comprises an adhering substrate (6') for microbes. The adhering substrate (6') is preferably arranged to a member (7'), detachably attachable to the plunger (3').
Claims10
A syringe for collecting microbiological sweep samples, comprising slideably engaging receiver and plunger means, said receiver extending in a longitudinal axis from a first end to an opposite second end a first distance, said plunger means comprising an elongated rod and a plunger attached to said rod, said plunger having a first surface facing said rod and an opposite second surface facing away from said rod, and an adhering substrate attached to said second surface, said substrate extending away from said second surface to an adhering substrate surface a second distance, said second distance being substantially smaller than said first distance.
