The invention relates to a device and to a method for storing and transporting a bodily fluid sample, comprising a support element (2), which forms a main body. At least one sorption element (3), which has a defined filling volume and is suitable for receiving a drop of the bodily fluid, and an overflow reservoir (4), which is adjacent to the sorption element (3) and which receives the bodily fluid from the sorption element (3) as soon as the filling volume of the sorption element (3) is filled, are fastened to the support element. The technical solution according to the invention is characterized in that at least one predetermined breaking point (5) is provided, which is designed in such a way that the sorption element (3) can be manually detached from the support element (1) and/or from the overflow reservoir (4) without an auxiliary tool.
