Claim 0:
1. A sampling device, comprising:
a receptacle, the receptacle including
a side wall structure and a bottom wall structure at a first end of the receptacle, the side wall structure and the bottom wall structure collectively defining an inner material receiving space within the receptacle and a receptacle opening at a second end of the receptacle opposite the first end; and

a sample container configured to overlay the receptacle opening when collocated with the receptacle, the sample container including
a body defining
a sample receiving portion configured to be located in liquid communication with the inner material receiving space of the receptacle based on the sample container being collocated with the receptacle,
a sample well that is radially further than the sample receiving portion from a longitudinal axis in a direction that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the longitudinal axis passes through the bottom wall structure and the receptacle opening, wherein the sample well has a well opening,
a liquid passageway extending from a first opening into the sample receiving portion to a second opening into the well opening, and
a container having a container opening,

wherein the body includes a portion that is configured to act as a liquid impermeable barrier to prevent liquid entry into the container opening from the sample receiving portion,

wherein the body defines the sample receiving portion as being at a first longitudinal position projected onto the longitudinal axis,
wherein the body defines the well opening as being at a second longitudinal position projected onto the longitudinal axis,
wherein the body defines the container opening as being at a third longitudinal position projected onto the longitudinal axis, and
wherein the third longitudinal position is above the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position in a longitudinal direction along the longitudinal axis from the bottom wall structure to the receptacle opening, such that the first longitudinal position and the second longitudinal position are both between the bottom wall structure and the third longitudinal position.
