1. A sample collection module comprising:
a hollow, squeezable body comprising a body cavity and a body-cavity opening; a cap comprising:
a cap ring comprising a first cap-ring end, a second cap-ring end, and a cap-ring channel running from a first cap-ring opening at the first cap-ring end to a second cap-ring opening at the second cap-ring end, wherein the second cap-ring end is configured to attach to the body and thereby form a seal about the body-cavity opening;a cap head comprising a first cap-head end, a second cap-head end, and a cap-head channel running from a first cap-head opening at the first cap-head end to a second cap-head opening at the second cap-head end, wherein:
the second cap-head end is configured to attach to the first cap-ring end to form a closed cap position in which the second cap-head end forms a seal about the first cap-ring opening; andthe second cap-head end is configured to at least partially separate from the first cap-ring end to form an open cap position in which the second cap-head end does not form a seal about the first cap-ring opening; anda removable, liquid-impermeable seal separating the cap-head channel from the cap-ring channel.
