"DEVICE FOR SAMPLING OR COLLECTION, KIT, USES OF A DEVICE AND A KIT, AND METHODS TO REDUCE A MARKER'S AMOUNT IN A SAMPLE AREA, TO QUALIFY OR QUANTIVELY SHOW AN AREA AS TO A MARKET CONTENT. TO CULTIVATE MICROORGANISMS OR COLLECTED MAMMALIAN CELLS ". A wadding comprising gelatin or collagen has been found to have a remarkably high recovery of microorganisms. In addition, samples with microorganisms, spores, nucleotides and other biologically or biochemically relevant compounds can be completely recovered from the collagen or gelatin-containing wad. The invention thus provides a method and pad having a high retrieval of a marker from a sample and furthermore a second high retrieval when transferring the pad to a medium for analysis.
