Abstract: A liquid sample collection device is provided. The liquid sample collection device comprises a housing including a liquid collection chamber, and a liquid supply conduit extending from an inlet port and in use generally downwardly to the collection chamber, wherein the collection chamber includes an air vent port located such that in use liquid supplied to the collection chamber through the liquid supply conduit displaces air through the air vent port, and wherein the liquid supply conduit follows a meandering path including at least one air trap section defined at the junction between portions of the conduit extending with upward and downward components respectively, whereby in use once the air vent port is closed, air is displaced along the liquid supply conduit until it is trapped by the air trap section thereby preventing further liquid flow through the conduit.
