A controlled transfer biological sample material collection device is disclosed which comprises: a body; and a sample collection member for collecting the biological sample material (not shown), the body housing a sample storage medium for generally dry storage of the biological material, the collection member being moveable from an exposed position (shown in FIG.) where collection of a biological sample is possible, to a transfer position (shown in FIG.) which effects transfer of at least a portion of the collected sample to said medium. The device is characterized in that the body slideably supports the sample collection member, and in that the body or collection member include a ramp-like projection portion (FIG.) operable to force the collection member into the transfer position against the medium and to effect said transfer as the collection member slides within the body.
