The invention relates to a replaceable sampling unit. The unit includes a forward barrel portion provided with a sharp front opening a longitudinally movable plunger in the forward barrel portion and a rearward barrel portion. The sharp front opening is adapted for cutting a specimen from a sample source. The rearward barrel portion is adapted for removable engagement with a tubular main body, thereby constituting a sampling device. Since the replaceable sampling unit can be easily connected to or disconnected from the tubular main body, different sampling operations can be done by installing different sampling units to the same main body, thereby preventing cross-contamination.本創作提供一種可更換式採樣元件,其包含:一具有尖銳前方開口的管狀頭部、一可以在管狀頭部內沿著縱向往復運動的柱塞,以及一管狀尾部。該前方開口用以由樣品來源切下一樣品。該管狀尾部適於可卸除式地結合至一管狀本體,而構成一採樣裝置。由於本創作的採樣元件可以方便地由管狀本體裝卸,所以有利於在使用同一個管狀本體下更換不同的採樣元件進行採樣,以避免交叉污染。10‧‧‧採樣裝置20‧‧‧管體21‧‧‧上端22‧‧‧下端23‧‧‧定位部30‧‧‧推桿31‧‧‧前端32‧‧‧定位件33‧‧‧彈簧35‧‧‧後端40‧‧‧採樣元件41‧‧‧管狀頭部42‧‧‧管狀尾部43‧‧‧柱塞44‧‧‧樣品容置空間50‧‧‧頂蓋
