The kit (20) to take a sample analyte from the skin surface comprises a tube, with a cotton bud type of sampling unit at one end, and an inner plug of a liquid or powder e.g. mineral oil or a fluorinated product. The plug separates the sampling unit and a liquid within the tube and can be removed by the liquid towards the sampling end during use. The kit (20) to take a sample analyte from the skin surface has a tube, with a cotton bud type of sampling unit at one end, and an inner plug of a liquid or powder e.g. mineral oil or a fluorinated product, and the like. The plug separates the sampling unit and a liquid within the tube and can be removed by the liquid towards the sampling end during use. The liquid assists the taking of a sample of at least one analyte, or it is a reagent to give a visual indication of an analyte in the sample.
