Cartridge for carrying test panel

A fluid specimen collection, storage, transport, and testing cup contains a chromatographic strip-carrying caddy which moves between an initial position allowing a deposited liquid specimen to contact the test strips, and a second, sealed position where the strips are hermetically isolated from a remainder portion of the specimen stored for later confirmatory testing. The caddy is moved between the two positions by screwing a threaded lid onto the top opening of the cup. The axial range of the screw is limited by a removable obstruction collar. The caddy can include a liquid specimen containing chamber having a lower opening sealed by a frangible barrier. The strips can be loaded in a cartridge mountable to the caddy. An adulteration panel having a transparent adhesive backed fronting can secure adulteration patches to the caddy.
