Abstract
In order to obtain information from a specimen which is initially present at a location such as part of a human being or other animal, there is situated at the latter location a device which includes a material which is capable of absorbing a specimen at the latter location and which with the specimen absorbed thereby can be introduced into a solvent in which the material dissolves while leaving in the solvent the specimen in a form capable of being analyzed. When used in connection with a living being, the device may include a signalling structure which signals the living being that the material has absorbed the specimen to an extent rendering removal of the device desirable, this signal to the individual being created by causing in response to contact with the collected specimen a sensation readily perceived by the living being or an observer.
