Abstract: A modular fluid sampling device that includes an elongated handle and a sample container holder attached to one end of the elongated handle. The sample container holder is configured to receive a removable sample container therein, a bottom which is configured to allow the free floe of fluid therethrough but prevent a sample container placed within the sample container holder to pass through the bottom, and an structure that secures a sample container to the sample container holder. All the components of the sampling device are made of plastic materials that will not contribute to sample contamination and the components of the sampling device are secured together by mechanical elements in order to avoid the use of glues and adhesives. The components are sized to allow packaging and portability of the sampling device.
