A flexible container (10) for capturing and or storing saliva, blood or any other body fluid, or biological sample of contained DNA and or other nucleic acid for immediate or later analysis. This bag holds one or more strips (22) assembled from purpose prepared absorbent matrix. A desiccant - containing pouch may be bonded to the interior of the storage device. When the flexible container is manipulated to the open position, the matrix, which is bonded to the interior, becomes exposed. A specimen can then be applied to this matrix. When opened, the bag stands up on its own, allowing the matrix to dry. Upon closure, the air-dried specimen - containing matrix withdraws inside the bag. This flexible container provides in one package, without the need for direct handling of the matrix, a specimen holding means, and protective storage within a substantially airtight, light-proof, and moisture-proof environment for a considerable period of time. |
