The invention relates to a cell sampling kit comprising a cell sampling device 7 and a container 100, wherein the cell sampling device 7 and the container 100 each comprise a threaded portion 101, 701 configured for attachment of the container 100 to the cell sampling device 7. The invention also relates to methods of cell sampling comprising the kit. The invention is particularly, but not exclusively, related to cell sampling kits in the field of biological or medical experimental, analytical or diagnostic assays and disease screening and monitoring. The cell sampling device may be an inflating membrane 4 brought into contact with cells at a surface by inflation, Fig 3B. Pressure reduction causes the membrane to evert Figure 3C so that the cells such as colorectal cells 31 may be suspended in buffer 31. Container 100 is attached to the sampling device at thread 7, inverting the device exposes the cells to buffer 31, reinverting then allows the cells to be retained In the container 103. |
