PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a kit for collecting biological samples having a novel structure, with a proximal end of a swab attached to a cap for covering a container body, easily and stably rotating the swab about a shaft and stably sticking a biological sample around the entire circumference of a sampling section provided at the distal end of the swab.SOLUTION: A cap 24 is attached to the proximal end 22 of a rod member 12 of the swab 16 and openably/closably mounted on an opening of the container body 18. A grip projection 44 having an external shape smaller than the cap 24 is projectingly provided on the end face 40 of the cap 24.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】スワブの基端部が容器本体を覆蓋するキャップに取り付けられている場合に、スワブを軸周りに容易且つ安定して回転させて、スワブの先端部に設けられた採取部の全周に亘って生体試料を安定して付着させることができる、新規な構造の生体試料採取用キットを提供すること。【解決手段】スワブ16のロッド部材12の基端部22に取り付けられて、容器本体18の開口部に開閉自在に装着されるキャップ部24の端面40に、該キャップ部24よりも小さな外形を有する把持突起44を突設した。【選択図】図2
